The radius of inner most orbit of hydrogen atom is 5.3×10−11m5 . 3 \times {10}^{- 11}m. What is the radius of third allowed orbit of hydrogen atom?

Options

  1. A4.77A°4 . 77\overset{°}{A}
  2. B0.53A°0 . 53\overset{°}{A}
  3. C1.06A°1 . 06\overset{°}{A}
  4. D1.59A°1 . 59\overset{°}{A}

Correct answer

A. 4.77A°4 . 77\overset{°}{A}

Step-by-step solution

The formula to calculate the radius of the nth{n}^{th} orbit is given by

rn=n2Z...(1){r}_{n} = \dfrac{{n}^{2}}{Z} . . . \left(1\right)

Substitute proper values of the orbit numbers in order to calculate the formula for the radius of the innermost and third allowed orbital radii.

{r1=121=1...(2)r3=32Z=9...(3)\begin{cases}{r}_{1} & = & \dfrac{{1}^{2}}{1} \\ = & 1 . . . \left(2\right) \\ {r}_{3} & = & \dfrac{{3}^{2}}{Z} \\ = & 9 . . . \left(3\right)\end{cases}

Divide equation (2) by equation (3) and solve to calculate the radius of the third allowed orbit.

{r1r3=19r3=9r1=9×5.3×10−11m=47.7×10−11m=4.77A∘\begin{cases}\dfrac{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{3}} & = & \dfrac{1}{9} \\ {r}_{3} & = & 9{r}_{1} \\ & = & 9 \times 5 . 3 \times {10}^{- 11}m \\ & = & 47 . 7 \times {10}^{- 11}m \\ & = & 4 . 77\overset{∘}{A}\end{cases}
