A) Deuterium atom
B) Hydrogen atom
C) Doubly ionized lithium
D) Singly ionized helium
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Radius of nth Bohr's orbit of hydrogen like atom\[{{r}_{n}}\propto \frac{{{n}^{2}}}{Z}\]where, Z is atomic number. For first orbit, n = 1 \[\therefore \] \[{{r}_{n}}\propto \frac{1}{z}\] Now, for radius of first orbit to be minimum, its atomic number must be greater. Here in the problem, atomic number Z is greater for doubly ionized lithium and is Z = 3. Hence, for this system the radius of first orbit will be minimum.
