Correct answer: C

  1. For a hydrogen-like species, the radius of the nthn^{\text{th}}nth orbit is

rn=a0n2Zr_n = a_0\frac{n^2}{Z}rn​=a0​Zn2​

where a0a_0a0​ is the Bohr radius and ZZZ is the atomic number.

  1. The difference between the radii of 4th and 3rd orbits is

ΔR=r4−r3=a042−32Z=a016−9Z=a07Z\Delta R = r_4 - r_3 = a_0\frac{4^2-3^2}{Z} = a_0\frac{16-9}{Z} = a_0\frac{7}{Z}ΔR=r4​−r3​=a0​Z42−32​=a0​Z16−9​=a0​Z7​

So, for any hydrogen-like ion,

ΔR∝1Z\Delta R \propto \frac{1}{Z}ΔR∝Z1​

  1. For Li2+Li^{2+}Li2+, we have Z=3Z=3Z=3.

Hence,

ΔR1=a073\Delta R_1 = a_0\frac{7}{3}ΔR1​=a0​37​

  1. For He+He^+He+, we have Z=2Z=2Z=2.

Hence,

ΔR2=a072\Delta R_2 = a_0\frac{7}{2}ΔR2​=a0​27​

  1. Therefore,

ΔR1:ΔR2=7a03:7a02=13:12=2:3\Delta R_1 : \Delta R_2 = \frac{7a_0}{3} : \frac{7a_0}{2} = \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{2} = 2:3ΔR1​:ΔR2​=37a0​​:27a0​​=31​:21​=2:3

  1. So the correct option is:

C: 2:3\boxed{\text{C: } 2:3}C: 2:3​

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer:

Stored correct answer = C, which matches our derived answer.
