The ratio of radii of second orbit of hydrogen atom to fourth orbit of He ⁺ ion is
Options
- A1: 4
- B2: 1
- C1: 2
- D2: 3
Correct answer
C. 1: 2
Step-by-step solution
For hydrogen and hydrogen like atoms r_n=n^2 / Z where, r_n is radius of n th orbit of revolution of electron, Z is the atomic number. For hydrogen atom, Z=1 . Hence, radius of second orbit is r₂= (2)^2 1 =4 For helium atom, Z=2 . Hence, radius of fourth orbit is r₄= (4)^2 2 =8 Therefore, r₂ r₄ = 4 8 = 1 2 1: 2
