$1.59\,\text{\AA}$
$2.38\,\text{\AA}$
$0.53\,\text{\AA}$
$4.77\,\text{\AA}$
$9.54\,\text{\AA}$
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
D
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
• Bohr radius: \[ r_n = n^2 r_1 \]
Step 1:
Given
\[ r_1 = 0.53\,\text{\AA}, \quad n = 3 \]
Step 2:
Compute
\[ r_3 = 3^2 \times 0.53 = 9 \times 0.53 = 4.77\,\text{\AA} \]
