Practicing Success
The radius of the Bohr orbit in the ground state of hydrogen atom is 0.5 Å. The radius of the orbit of the electron in the third excited state of He+ will be |
8 Å 4 Å 0.5 Å 0.25 Å |
4 Å |
By using $r_n=r_0 \frac{n^2}{Z}$; Where $r_o=$ Radius of the Bohr orbit in the ground state atom. So for $He^{+}$ third excited state $n=4, Z=2, r_0=0.5 ~Å \Rightarrow r_4=0.5 \times \frac{4^2}{2}=4 ~Å$ |
