    The radius of an electron orbit in a hydrogen atom is of the order of

    A)  \[{{10}^{-8}}\,\,m\]          

    B)  \[{{10}^{-9}}\,\,m\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{-11}}\,\,m\]         

    D)  \[{{10}^{-10}}\,\,m\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Radius of \[{{n}^{th}}\] orbit \[{{r}_{n}}=0.53\frac{{{n}^{2}}}{Z}\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,\] Here, \[n=1\] and for hydrogen atom \[Z=1\] \[\therefore \,\,{{r}_{1}}=0.53\frac{{{(1)}^{2}}}{1}\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,=0.53\times {{10}^{-10}}m=53\,pm\]
