Q1 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2019 (03 May Shift 2) · Chemistry

The radius of the 2nd  orbit of B4+ ion is:

  • A
    4.23 A°
  • B
    0.2340 A°
  • Correct answer
    C
    0.4232 A°
  • D
    0.3241 A°

Solution

Radius of 2nd orbit of B4+ ion is given as,

r=0.529 n2Z A°

Where, n = Number of shells and Z=Atomic number

This formula is only applicable for hydrogen and hydrogen like species i.e., species containing a single electron.

For B4+, n=2, Z=5

r=0.529225=0.529×45=0.4232 A°

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
