Determine the radius at which a 2s electron in a hydrogen-like atom of atomic number Z is more likely to be found? The answer is r = 5.24(a₀/z) OR r = 5.24(a/z) with no units provided, but they should be there.

Expert Solution

In this case for the determination of the radius we have to check the probability at maxima or minima. The complete determination of the radius is given as below:-

So, the radius at which a 2s electron in a hydrogen-like atom of atomic number Z is more likely to be found is, r = 5.24 a_o .
