All the hydrogen-like atoms in their ground states have the same |
orbital angular momentum of the electron energy of the atom speed of the electron radius of the orbit |
orbital angular momentum of the electron |
The correct answer is Option (1) → orbital angular momentum of the electron For a hydrogen-like atom (one electron, atomic number Z): Energy in ground state: $E = -13.6 Z^2 \, \text{eV}$ → depends on Z Radius in ground state: $r = \frac{a_0}{Z}$ → depends on Z Speed of electron: $v = Z \alpha c$ → depends on Z Orbital angular momentum: $L = \sqrt{l(l+1)}\hbar$, and for ground state $n=1$, $l=0$ Thus $L = 0$ → same for all hydrogen-like atoms in ground state. Final Answer: Orbital angular momentum of the electron |
