Q. First Bohr radius of an atom with $Z = 82$ is $R$. Radius of its third orbit is

A) 9 $R$
B) 6 $R$
C) 3 $R$
D) $R$
Explanation

(a) Radius of Bohr’s orbit
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ R_{n}$ = $\frac{A_{0}n^{2}}{Z}$
$\Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ R_{n} \propto n^{2}$ (Z=constant)
$\therefore$ $\ \ \ \ \ R_{3}\ = \ 3^{2}R\ = \ 9R$
