In hydrogen atom an orbit has a diameter of about 16.92Å. What is the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Diameter of Hydrogen atom = 16.92Å
Radius of an atom = 8.46Å
r n = 
⇒ 8.46 = 
⇒ n = 4
Maximum number of electron = 2n 2 = 2 × (4) 2 = 32.
