Q22 / 155 · WBJEE 2024 · Chemistry

Which hydrogen like species will have the same radius as that of $1^{\text {st }}$ Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom?

  • A
    $\mathrm{n}=2, \mathrm{Li}^{2+}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{n}=2, \mathrm{Be}^{3+}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{n}=2, \mathrm{He}^{+}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{Li}^{2+}$

Solution

Hint : Radius of $n^{\text {th }}$ orbit $=0.529 \frac{n^2}{Z} Ã…$ Radius of $1^{\text {st }}$ Bohr Orbit of Hydrogen atom $=0.529 \times \frac{1^2}{1}=0.529 Ã…$ Radius of $2^{\text {nd }}$ Bohr Orbit of $\mathrm{Be}^{3+}=0.529 \frac{2^2}{4}=0.529 Ã…$

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