Options:
  • A $r_4=\frac{9}{16} r_3$
  • B $r_4=\frac{16}{9} r_3$
  • C $r_4=\frac{3}{4} r_3$
  • D $r_4=\frac{4}{3} r_3$

The correct answer is: $r_4=\frac{16}{9} r_3$

$\begin{aligned} & r=0.529 \times \frac{n^2}{Z} Å \\ & r_3=0.529 \times \frac{3^2}{1} \Rightarrow r_4=0.529 \times \frac{4^2}{1} \\ & \frac{r_4}{r_3}=\frac{4^2}{3^2}=\frac{16}{9} \Rightarrow r_4=\frac{16 r_3}{9}\end{aligned}$
