The correct Answer is:
To find the value of 'n' for the de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in the `Be^3+` ion, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the de-Broglie wavelength formula The de-Broglie wavelength (\( \lambda \)) of an electron in a circular orbit is given by the relationship: \[ 2\pi r = n\lambda \] where \( r \) is the radius of the orbit, \( n \) is the principal quantum number, and \( \lambda \) is the de-Broglie wavelength. ### Step 2: Determine the expression for the radius For a hydrogen-like atom, the radius of the orbit can be expressed as: \[ r = a_0 \frac{n^2}{Z} \] where \( a_0 \) is the first Bohr radius (53 pm or \( 53 \times 10^{-12} \) m) and \( Z \) is the atomic number. For beryllium (\( Be \)), the atomic number \( Z = 4 \). ### Step 3: Substitute the radius into the de-Broglie equation Substituting the expression for \( r \) into the de-Broglie wavelength equation: \[ 2\pi \left(a_0 \frac{n^2}{Z}\right) = n\lambda \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ n = \frac{Z \lambda}{2\pi a_0} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the known values Now, substitute \( Z = 4 \), \( \lambda = 5.83 \times 10^{-10} \) m (since 1 Å = \( 10^{-10} \) m), and \( a_0 = 53 \times 10^{-12} \) m: \[ n = \frac{4 \times (5.83 \times 10^{-10})}{2 \times 3.14 \times (53 \times 10^{-12})} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the denominator Calculating the denominator: \[ 2 \times 3.14 \times (53 \times 10^{-12}) \approx 3.34 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} \] ### Step 7: Calculate 'n' Now substituting back into the equation for 'n': \[ n = \frac{4 \times 5.83 \times 10^{-10}}{3.34 \times 10^{-10}} \approx \frac{23.32 \times 10^{-10}}{3.34 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 7 \] Thus, the value of \( n \) is approximately \( 7 \). ### Answer The value of \( n \) is \( 7 \). ---
