The velocity of an electron in the second orbit of sodium atom (atomic number =11 ) is v . The velocity of an electron in its fifth orbit will be
Options
- Av
- B22 5 v
- C5 2
- D2 5 v
Correct answer
D. 2 5 v
Step-by-step solution
Velocity of electron in n th orbit aligned v_n & = Z e^2 2 ₀ n h v & 1 n v₁ & =v, n₁=2, n₂=5 aligned v v₂ = n₂ n₁ v v₂ = 5 2 v₂= 2 v 5
