If the radius of the innermost Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is , what is the radius of the second allowed Bohr orbit of a singly ionised helium atom ()?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The radius of the Bohr orbit for a hydrogen-like ion is given by:
where is the radius of the innermost orbit of the hydrogen atom, is the principal quantum number, and is the atomic number.
For a singly ionised helium atom (), .
For the second allowed orbit, .
Substituting the values:
Answer:
