For all hydrogen-like atoms and ions in their ground states, which of the following parameters is identical?

Options

  1. ARadius of the orbit
  2. BOrbital angular momentum of the electron
  3. CEnergy of the atom
  4. DSpeed of the electron

Correct answer

B. Orbital angular momentum of the electron

Step-by-step solution

For hydrogen-like atoms and ions in the ground state, the principal quantum number n=1n = 1.

The radius of the orbit is given by r=0.529n2Zr = 0.529 \dfrac{n^2}{Z} \AA, which depends on the atomic number ZZ.

The energy of the atom is given by E=−13.6Z2n2E = -13.6 \dfrac{Z^2}{n^2} eV, which depends on ZZ.

The speed of the electron is given by v=2.18×106Znv = 2.18 \times 10^6 \dfrac{Z}{n} m/s, which depends on ZZ.

The orbital angular momentum of the electron in the ground state (1s1s orbital, l=0l = 0) is l(l+1)h2π=0\sqrt{l(l+1)} \dfrac{h}{2\pi} = 0. According to Bohr's theory, the angular momentum is nh2π=h2π\dfrac{nh}{2\pi} = \dfrac{h}{2\pi}. In both models, it is independent of ZZ and depends only on the quantum numbers nn or ll.

Thus, the orbital angular momentum is identical for all hydrogen-like atoms and ions in their ground states.
