The distance between adjacent orbit radii in a hydrogen atom
A)increases with increasing values of n.
B)decreases with increasing values of n.
C)remains constant for all values of n.
D)varies randomly with increasing values of n.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between adjacent orbit radii in a hydrogen atom increases with increasing values of n because the radii are proportional to n^2, leading to larger gaps as n increases.
