Question:

In Bohr's atomic model, the radius of the first orbit is $r_o$. The radius of the third orbit will be:

Options:

$3r_o$

$9r_o$

$r_o$

$r_o/3$

Correct Answer:

$9r_o$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $9r_o$

Bohr's atomic model radius (r) is,

$r_n∝n^2$

$⇒r_n=r_on^2$ [$r_o$ = Bohr's atomic radius]

$⇒r_3(3)^2r_o=9r_o$
