Question

Consider 2 hydrogen like ions A and B. Ionization energy of A is greater than that of B. Let r, u, E and L represent the radius of the orbit, speed of the electron, energy of the atom and orbital angular momentum of the electron respectively. In ground state:

Options

A.rA > rB
B.uA > uB
C.EA > EB
D.LA > LB

Solution

ᐃE = ionization energy
= 13.6 × z2 eV
ᐃEA > ᐃEB     ⇒    ZA > ZB
L =
∴    LA = LB
E = energy of the orbit
EA < EB
u α
∴    uA > uB
r α
∴    rA < rB .
