    The radius of the smallest electron orbit in hydrogen-like ion is\[(0.51\times {{10}^{-10}}/4)m;\]then it is

    A)  hydrogen atom  

    B)  \[H{{e}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[L{{i}^{2+}}\] 

    D)  \[B{{e}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     For hydrogen like atom, the radius of nth orbit \[r_{n}^{Z}=\frac{{{n}^{2}}}{Z}{{a}_{0}}\] Here,    \[{{a}_{0}}=0.51\times {{10}^{-10}}m\] \[\therefore \] \[r_{n}^{Z}=\frac{0.51\times {{10}^{-10}}}{4}m\] In the ground state, \[n=1\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{0.51\times {{10}^{-10}}}{4}=\frac{{{1}^{2}}}{Z}\times 0.51\times {{10}^{-10}}\] \[\therefore \] \[Z=4\] So, the atom is triply ionised beryllium\[(B{{e}^{3+}})\].
