If radius of second Bohr orbit of the He+ ion is 105.8 pm, what is the radius of third Bohr orbit of Li2+ ion?
- 158.7 pm
- 15.87 pm
- 1.587 pm
- 158.7 A
Answer
(1) 158.7 pm
Solution
For hydrogen-like species, rn = 52.9 n2Z pm ⇒ r n2Z
r(Li2+, n=3)r(He+, n=2) = 32/322/2 = 32
r(Li2+) = 105.8 32
= 158.7 pm
Answer: (1)
