  1. The radius of hydrogen atom in its ground state is 5.3 × 10–11 m. After collision with an electron it is found to have a radius of 21.2 × 10–11 m. What is the principal quantum number n of the final state of the atom

    r ∝ n2

    radius of final state
    = n2
    radius of initial state

    21.2 × 10-11
    = n2
    5.3 × 10-11

    ∴ n2 = 4 or n = 2

    Correct Option: B

    r ∝ n2

    radius of final state
    = n2
    radius of initial state

    21.2 × 10-11
    = n2
    5.3 × 10-11

    ∴ n2 = 4 or n = 2

    P.E = -
    KZe2
    and K.E =
    KZe2
    r2r

    where, r is the radius of orbit which increases as we move from ground to an excited state. Therefore, when a hydrogen atom is raised from the ground state, it increases the value of r. As a result of this, P.E. increases (decreases in negative) and K.E. decreases.

    Correct Option: B

    P.E = -
    KZe2
    and K.E =
    KZe2
    r2r

    where, r is the radius of orbit which increases as we move from ground to an excited state. Therefore, when a hydrogen atom is raised from the ground state, it increases the value of r. As a result of this, P.E. increases (decreases in negative) and K.E. decreases.
