Among the following systems, which will have the minimum radius for the first orbit (n=1n = 1)?

Options

  1. ADoubly ionized lithium
  2. BDeuterium atom
  3. CSingly ionized helium
  4. DHydrogen atom

Correct answer

A. Doubly ionized lithium

Step-by-step solution

The radius of the nn-th Bohr orbit for a hydrogen-like species is given by:

rn=0.529×n2Zr_n = \dfrac{0.529 \times n^2}{Z} \AA

For the first orbit, n=1n = 1. Thus, the radius is inversely proportional to the atomic number ZZ (r1∝1Zr_1 \propto \dfrac{1}{Z}).

To have the minimum radius, the system must have the maximum atomic number ZZ.

For doubly ionized lithium (Li2+Li^{2+}), Z=3Z = 3
For deuterium atom (DD), Z=1Z = 1
For singly ionized helium (He+He^+), Z=2Z = 2
For hydrogen atom (HH), Z=1Z = 1

Since Li2+Li^{2+} has the highest atomic number (Z=3Z = 3), it will have the minimum radius for the first orbit.
