Correct answer: B

  1. Use Bohr model expressions

For a hydrogen-like species, the total energy in the nnnth orbit is

En=−13.6Z2n2 eVE_n=-\frac{13.6Z^2}{n^2}\,\text{eV}En​=−n213.6Z2​eV

In Bohr's model, kinetic energy is

K=−En=13.6Z2n2 eVK=-E_n=\frac{13.6Z^2}{n^2}\,\text{eV}K=−En​=n213.6Z2​eV

So, the electron has the highest kinetic energy for the largest value of

Z2n2\frac{Z^2}{n^2}n2Z2​


  1. Evaluate each option

Option A: first orbit of H\mathrm{H}H atom

Here, Z=1Z=1Z=1, n=1n=1n=1

K∝1212=1K \propto \frac{1^2}{1^2}=1K∝1212​=1

Option B: first orbit of He+\mathrm{He}^+He+

Here, Z=2Z=2Z=2, n=1n=1n=1

K∝2212=4K \propto \frac{2^2}{1^2}=4K∝1222​=4

Option C: second orbit of He+\mathrm{He}^+He+

Here, Z=2Z=2Z=2, n=2n=2n=2

K∝2222=1K \propto \frac{2^2}{2^2}=1K∝2222​=1

Option D: second orbit of Li2+\mathrm{Li}^{2+}Li2+

Here, Z=3Z=3Z=3, n=2n=2n=2

K∝3222=94=2.25K \propto \frac{3^2}{2^2}=\frac{9}{4}=2.25K∝2232​=49​=2.25


  1. Compare values

The proportional kinetic energies are:

A=1,B=4,C=1,D=2.25A=1,\quad B=4,\quad C=1,\quad D=2.25A=1,B=4,C=1,D=2.25

The largest value is for Option B.


  1. Final answer

The highest kinetic energy is associated with the electron in the first orbit of He+\mathrm{He}^+He+.
