Question:

In a beryllium atom, if a0 be the radius of the first orbit, then the radius of the second orbit will be in general

Options:

$na_0$

$a_0$

$n^2 a_0$

$\frac{a_0}{n^2}$

Correct Answer:

$n^2 a_0$

Explanation:

$r \propto n^2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r_n=n^2 a_0 \quad\left(∵ r_1=a_0\right)$
