It has been found that nuclides with `2,8,20,50,82,` and `126` protons or neutrons are exceptionally stable. These numbers are refferd to as the magic numbers and their existance has led to.

A

the idea of periodictiy in nuclear properties similar to the periodicity of chemical elements in periodic table

B

the so-called ''liquid drop model of the nucleus''

C

the so-called ''shell model of the nuclus''

D

have a conveninet exploanation of ''nuclear fission''

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a,c

The idea of magic number has led to the shell model and the nuclides with these number of protons or neutrons have been compared with the inert gases vis-à-vis-à-vis stabitity in terms of clossed shells.
