The correct answer is: 2716x

Radius of orbit (r) = 0.529 × n2Z

Where, n = principal quantum number of orbit

Z = Atomic number

(rLi2+)n=2 = 0.529 × (2)23 = x -----(1)

rBe3+n=3 = 0.529 ×(3)24 -----(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2)

rLi2+n=2rBe3+n=3 = 0.529 ×(2)230.529 ×(3)24

x(rBe3+)n=3 = 1627

rBe3+n=3 = 27x16
