  1. Question 1

    Q1. The radius of the first Bohr orbit is 0.053 nm. What is the radius of the third Bohr orbit?

    • A) 0.159 nm
    • B) 0.477 nm
    • C) 0.053 nm
    • D) 0.0177 nm

    Answer: 0.477 nm

    Explanation: Radius is proportional to n^2; for n = 3, radius = 9 * 0.053 = 0.477 nm; option A is for n = 2.
