The ratio of area covered by second orbital to the first orbital is
Options
(a) 1 : 2
(b) 1 : 16
(c) 8 : 1
(d) 16 : 1
Correct Answer:
16 : 1
Explanation:
r(n) ∝ n² ; A(n) ∝ n⁴.
A₂ / A₁ = n₂⁴ / n⁴₁ = 2⁴ / 1⁴ = 16 / 1.
The ratio of area covered by second orbital to the first orbital is

(d) 16 : 1
16 : 1
r(n) ∝ n² ; A(n) ∝ n⁴.
A₂ / A₁ = n₂⁴ / n⁴₁ = 2⁴ / 1⁴ = 16 / 1.
