    In which of the following systems will the radius of the first orbit (n = 1) be minimum?
    (a) Hydrogen atom
    (b) Deuterium atom
    (c) Singly ionized helium
    (d) Doubly ionized lithium
    digAnsr:   d
    Ans : (d) Doubly ionized lithium
    For a hydrogen-like ion with Z protons in the nucleus, the radius of the nth state is given by
    `` {r}_{\,\mathrm{\,n\,}}=\frac{{n}^{2}{a}_{0}}{Z}``
    Here, a0 = 0.53 pm
    For lithium,
    Z = 3
    Therefore, the radius of the first orbit for doubly ionised lithium will be minimum.
