In terms of Bohr radius a₀, the radius of the second Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by
4a₀
8a₀
√2a₀
2a₀
According to Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom, the radius of the nth stationary state (orbit) is given by the expression , where is the Bohr radius (radius of the first orbit, n=1) . For the second Bohr orbit, the principal quantum number . Substituting this value into the equation: .
