Question:

An atom of hydrogen has an innermost electron orbit with a radius of 5.3 × 10-11 m. What will be the radius of n = 4 orbit?

Options:

1.06 × 10-10 m

2.12 × 10-10 m

8.48 × 10-10 m

4.77 × 10-10 m

Correct Answer:

8.48 × 10-10 m

Explanation:

r= n2h2ε0/mπe or n2r1  

r1 = 5.3 × 10-11 m

r4 = (4)× 5.3 × 10-11 m

    =8.48 × 10-10 m
