The most probable radius (in pm) for finding the electron in He⁺ is
Options
(a) 0
(b) 52.9
(c) 26.5
(d) 105.8
Correct Answer:
26.5
Explanation:
Most probable radius = a₀ / Z
where a₀ = 52.9 pm.
For helium ion, Z = 2.
r(mp) = 52.9 / 2 = 26.45 pm.

26.5
Most probable radius = a₀ / Z
where a₀ = 52.9 pm.
For helium ion, Z = 2.
r(mp) = 52.9 / 2 = 26.45 pm.
