If the ratio of energies of electron in the excited states of $\mathrm{H}$ and $\mathrm{Li}^{2+}$ is $1: 9$, the radius ratio of electron in the same excited states of $\mathrm{H}$ and $\mathrm{Li}^{2+}$ is
  1. $9: 1$
  2. $3: 1$
  3. $1: 9$
  4. $1: 3$

Solution

$\because$ For same excited state $ r \propto \frac{1}{Z} \text { and } E \propto Z^2 $ Where, $r=$ radius of element $Z=$ atomic number of element ' $\mathrm{Z}$ ' for $(\mathrm{H})$ and $\left(\mathrm{Li}^{2+}\right)$ are 1 and 3 respectively thus, $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{r_{(\mathrm{H})}}{r_{\left(\mathrm{L}^{2+}\right)}}=\frac{Z_{\left(\mathrm{Li}^{2+}\right)}}{Z(\mathrm{H})} \\ & \frac{r_{(\mathrm{H})}}{r\left(\mathrm{Li}^{2+}\right)}=\frac{3}{1}=3: 1 \end{aligned} $
