Calculate the density of the nucleus with mass number A.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From equation, the radius of the nuclei satisfy the equation `= R_(0) A^(13)`. Then the volume of the nucleus
`V = (4)/(3) pi R^(3) = (4)/(3) pi R_(0)^(3)A`

By ignoring the mass difference between the proton and neutron, the total mass of the nucleus having mass number A is equal to A. m where m is mass of the proton and is equal to `1.6726 xx 10^(-27)`kg.
