Answer:
Correct Answer: 10.(d)
Solution:
- (d) Radius of hydrogen atom $=0.530 \AA$, Number of excited state $(n)=2$ and atomic number of hydrogen atom $(Z)=1$. We know that the Bohr radius.
$(r)=\frac{n^{2}}{Z} \times$ Bohr Radius of atom $=\frac{(2)^{2}}{1} \times 0.530$ $=4 \times 0.530=2.12 $ $\AA$
