Structure of Atom · Class 11 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
The radius of the second Bohr orbit, in terms of the Bohr radius , in is:
- a
- b
- c✓
- d
🧠 The Fundamental Unit Scaling We need the radius of the 2nd Bohr orbit for . In JEE, this is often asked "in terms of " so we don't need to plug in . Just manage and .
🗺️ The Variable Mapping
- Formula: .
- Ion: Lithium ().
- State: 2nd orbit ().
- Result:
⚡ The "Squares and Atomic Numbers" Mental Table
- H, n=1
- He+, n=1
- Li2+, n=2 Being able to visualize this simple table of factors makes these questions trivial.
⚠️ Common Traps Wait—did you use or ? Squaring is the most missed step. is a common distractor option (Option A). Always double check the power of !
