Ions with a single electron such as He + , Li 2+ , and Be 3+ are

Question:

Ions with a single electron such as He+, Li2+, and Be3+ are described by the H atom wave functions with Z/a0 substituted for 1/a0, where Z is the nuclear charge. The 1s wave function becomes ψ (r) = 1/√π (Z/a0)3/2. Using this result, compare the mean value of the radius r at which you would find the 1s electron in H, He+, Li2+, and Be3+ ?
