Q. The radius of second Bohr’s orbit of hydrogen atom is

A) 0.053 nm
B) 0.106 nm
C) 0.2116 nm
D) 0.4256 nm
Explanation

(c)
Give that,
Bohr’s orbit of hydrogen atom ($n$)=2
Atomic number of hydrogen ($Z$)=1
By using
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r = \frac{0.529\ n^{2}}{Z}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = \frac{0.529 \times (2)^{2}}{1}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = \frac{0.529 \times 4}{1}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2.116\ \mathring{\mathrm{A}}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 0.2116\ nm$
