  1. Question 1

    Q1. The ratio of the radius of the second orbit of He+ to that of the third orbit of Be3+ is

    • A) 3/8
    • B) 2/9
    • C) 1/3
    • D) 9/2

    Answer: 2/9

    Explanation: Radius ∝ n²/Z; ratio = (2²/2)/(3²/4) = 2/9, applying the formula for radius of nth orbit in hydrogen-like atoms.
