Ratio of the radii of two Bohr orbits of H-atom is 4:1.what would be the nomenclature.options are below
1. K & L
2. L & K
3. N & L
4. 2&3 BOTH
The answer given is 4th option
Bt I think it may be 2nd option.
4th Option is the correct one
R= .529 *(n^2/Z )
R is directly proportional to n^2
n = no. Of orbit
Z =atomic no.
Given R1/R2 = 4:1
n1 ^2/n2^ 2 = 4:1
n1/n2 = 2:1
Among 1st 4 orbits
n1 = 4 or 2 (n1^2 could be 16 and then n2^2 could be 4 and the ratio would be 4:1, So we are considering both n1 as 4 and 2 )
n2 =2 or 1
n1 could be either 4 or 2
If n1 = 4 then n2 =2, The shells are n1 = N and n2 = L
Or n1= 2 then n2 = 1, The shells are n1 = L and n2 = K
