Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

En (Li2+) = –19.62 × 10–18 J:

rn (Li2+) = 17.6 pm

En (He+) = –8.72× 10–18 J;

rn (He+) = 26.4 pm

En (Li²⁺) = –19.62 × 10⁻¹⁸ J; rn (Li²⁺) = 17.6 pm; En (He⁺) = –8.72 × 10⁻¹⁸ J; rn (He⁺) = 26.4 pm

Solution :

The correct option is:
En (Li2+) = –19.62 × 10–18 J; rn (Li2+) = 17.6 pm; En (He+) = –8.72 × 10–18 J; rn (He+) = 26.4 pm

To find the energy and radius of the first Bohr orbit (n=1) for hydrogen-like species like He+ and Li2+, we use the standard Bohr formulas:

1. Energy of the n-th Bohr orbit (En):
En=-RH×Z2n2
where RH=2.18×10-18 J and Z is the atomic number of the element.

2. Radius of the n-th Bohr orbit (rn):
rn=a0×n2Z
where a0=52.9 pm.

Step-by-step Calculations:

For Helium ion (He+):
Atomic number (Z) = 2, and first orbit (n) = 1.
• Energy calculation:
E1(He+)=-2.18×10-18 J×2212
E1(He+)=-2.18×10-18 J×4=-8.72×10-18 J

• Radius calculation:
r1(He+)=52.9 pm×122
r1(He+)=26.45 pm26.4 pm

For Lithium ion (Li2+):
Atomic number (Z) = 3, and first orbit (n) = 1.
• Energy calculation:
E1(Li2+)=-2.18×10-18 J×3212
E1(Li2+)=-2.18×10-18 J×9=-19.62×10-18 J

• Radius calculation:
r1(Li2+)=52.9 pm×123
r1(Li2+)=17.63 pm17.6 pm
