Among the following systems, which will have the minimum radius for the first orbit ()?
Options
- ADoubly ionized lithium
- BDeuterium atom
- CSingly ionized helium
- DHydrogen atom
Correct answer
A. Doubly ionized lithium
Step-by-step solution
The radius of the -th Bohr orbit for a hydrogen-like species is given by:
\AA
For the first orbit, . Thus, the radius is inversely proportional to the atomic number ().
To have the minimum radius, the system must have the maximum atomic number .
For doubly ionized lithium (),
For deuterium atom (),
For singly ionized helium (),
For hydrogen atom (),
Since has the highest atomic number (), it will have the minimum radius for the first orbit.
