Match List-I with List-II regarding the radius of Bohr orbits for various hydrogen-like species, where a0a_0 is the Bohr radius of the hydrogen atom.

List-IList-II
(A) 2nd2^{\text{nd}} orbit of He+\text{He}^{+}(I) 2a02a_0
(B) 3rd3^{\text{rd}} orbit of Li2+\text{Li}^{2+}(II) 3a03a_0
(C) 1st1^{\text{st}} orbit of He+\text{He}^{+}(III) a0/2a_0/2
(D) 4th4^{\text{th}} orbit of Be3+\text{Be}^{3+}(IV) 4a04a_0

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. A(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
  2. B(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
  3. C(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
  4. D(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

Correct answer

B. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

Step-by-step solution

The radius of the nthn^{\text{th}} Bohr orbit of a hydrogen-like species is given by r=a0n2Zr = a_0 \dfrac{n^2}{Z}, where a0a_0 is the Bohr radius.

(A) For the 2nd2^{\text{nd}} orbit of He+\text{He}^{+} (n=2,Z=2n = 2, Z = 2):
r=a0222=2a0r = a_0 \dfrac{2^2}{2} = 2a_0

(B) For the 3rd3^{\text{rd}} orbit of Li2+\text{Li}^{2+} (n=3,Z=3n = 3, Z = 3):
r=a0323=3a0r = a_0 \dfrac{3^2}{3} = 3a_0

(C) For the 1st1^{\text{st}} orbit of He+\text{He}^{+} (n=1,Z=2n = 1, Z = 2):
r=a0122=a02r = a_0 \dfrac{1^2}{2} = \dfrac{a_0}{2}

(D) For the 4th4^{\text{th}} orbit of Be3+\text{Be}^{3+} (n=4,Z=4n = 4, Z = 4):
r=a0424=4a0r = a_0 \dfrac{4^2}{4} = 4a_0

Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV).

Answer: (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
