Bohr Model: Orbits, Speed & Angular Momentum

The triply ionized beryllium (Be+++^{+++}) has the same electron orbital radius as that of the ground state of hydrogen. Hence, the energy state of triply ionized beryllium is (Given Z=4Z = 4 for beryllium)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. rn=n2Za0r_n = \frac{n^2}{Z} a_0
  2. Equal to a0a_0: n24=1⇒n=2\frac{n^2}{4} = 1 \Rightarrow n = 2
  3. So the answer is (c) n=2n = 2.
