If radius of second Bohr orbit of the He+\text{He}^+ ion is 105.8 pm105.8 \text{ pm}, what is the radius of third Bohr orbit of Li2+\text{Li}^{2+} ion?

A

158.7 pm158.7 \text{ pm}

B

15.87 pm15.87 \text{ pm}

C

1.587 pm1.587 \text{ pm}

D

158.7158.7^-

Step-by-Step Solution

The radius of the nthn^{th} Bohr orbit is given by rn=0.529×n2Z A˚=52.9×n2Z pmr_n = 0.529 \times \frac{n^2}{Z} \text{ \AA} = 52.9 \times \frac{n^2}{Z} \text{ pm}. For He+\text{He}^+ (Z=2Z=2), r2=52.9×222=52.9×2=105.8 pmr_2 = 52.9 \times \frac{2^2}{2} = 52.9 \times 2 = 105.8 \text{ pm}. For Li2+\text{Li}^{2+} (Z=3Z=3), r3=52.9×323=52.9×3=158.7 pmr_3 = 52.9 \times \frac{3^2}{3} = 52.9 \times 3 = 158.7 \text{ pm}.
