The radius of the nth orbit is given by rn = n² * r1, where r1 = 0.53 Å. What is the radius of the 2nd orbit?
Q1. The radius of the nth orbit is given by rn = n² * r1, where r1 = 0.53 Å. What is the radius of the 2nd orbit?
Answer: 2.12 Å
Explanation: Substitute n = 2 in rn = n² * r1 to get r2 = 2² * 0.53 Å = 2.12 Å.
