Problem 51.8 (RHK)

We have to find the value of the quantum number for a hydrogen atom that has an orbital radius of 847 pm.

Solution:             Click For PDF Version

The radii of the stationary states of hydrogen atom are given by the equation

Therefore, the shell with orbital radius of 847 pm will correspond to principal quantum number given by the equation
