Homework Statement
Calculate the radius of the n = 6 Bohr orbit in O7+(oxygen with 7 of its 8 electrons removed).
A) 190 pm B) 167 pm C) 238 pm D) 214 pm
Homework Equations
I believe that the relevant equation is
r(sub n)=(n^2)*a(sub b) where a(sub b)= Bohr's radius= 5.29*10^-11 m
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated it for what I believed to be n=6, but I got an incorrect answer. The correct answer is (C) 238 pm, but I do not understand why.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
