NEET 2022 Chemistry Bohr Model MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If radius of second Bohr orbit of the He⁺ ion is 105.8 pm, what is the radius of third Bohr orbit of Li²⁺ ion?

A

1.587 pm

B

158.7 Å

C

158.7 pm

D

15.87 pm

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The radius of the nth orbit in a hydrogen-like atom is given by r = n²a₀/Z, where a₀ is the Bohr radius. For Li²⁺, Z = 3, and for the third orbit, n = 3. Calculating gives r = 158.7 pm.
