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

A

hydrogen atom

B

$H^+$

C

$Li^{2+}$

D

$Be^{3+}$

Solution

For hydrogen-like atom, the radius of ${n^{th}}$ orbit is

$r_n^Z = \frac{{{n^2}}}{Z}{r_0}$

Where $\quad \mathrm{r}_{0}=0.51 \times 10^{-10}$ metre

Here, $r_{n}^{z}=\frac{0.51 \times 10^{-10}}{4} $ metre 

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 \quad Z =4 $

So, the atom is triply ionised beryllium.
