Calculate ratio of the radius of 2nd orbit of H atom and 3rd?

Open in App
Solution

Bohr radius = n2a0ZWhere n -number of orbitZ- atomic numbera0 - Bohr radius = 0.0529 nmFor 2nd orbit of hydrogen n=2 and Z=1Bohr radius = 22a01 = 4a0For 3rd orbit of hydrogen n=3 and Z=1Bohr radius = 32a01 = 9a0So the ratio of Bohr orbit of 2nd to 3rd is = 4a0 : 9a0 = 4 : 9Bohr radius = n2a0ZWhere n -number of orbitZ- atomic numbera0 - Bohr radius = 0.0529 nmFor 2nd orbit of hydrogen n=2 and Z=1Bohr radius = 22a01 = 4a0For 3rd orbit of hydrogen n=3 and Z=1Bohr radius = 32a01 = 9a0So the ratio of Bohr orbit of 2nd to 3rd is = 4a0 : 9a0 = 4 : 9
