The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the properties of a nucleus and determine the correctness of the given statements, we will analyze each statement one by one based on the properties of the nucleus. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nuclear Density**: - The density of a nucleus is defined as the mass of the nucleus divided by its volume. It is important to note that the density of a nucleus is approximately constant for different nuclei, regardless of their mass number (A). - **Conclusion**: The statement that the density of the nucleus is directly proportional to the mass number (A) is incorrect. 2. **Evaluating Option A**: - Option A states: "The density of nucleus is directly proportional to the mass number A." - Since we established that nuclear density is constant and does not depend on A, this option is **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluating Option B**: - Option B states: "Density of all nuclei is almost constant and is of the order of 10^17 kg/m^3." - This is consistent with our understanding that the density of nuclei is indeed around 10^17 kg/m^3 and remains relatively constant across different elements. - Therefore, this option is **correct**. 4. **Evaluating Option C**: - Option C states: "The nuclear radius is of the order of 10^-15 meters." - The nuclear radius is indeed on the order of 10^-15 meters (or femtometers), which is a well-known fact in nuclear physics. - Hence, this option is also **correct**. 5. **Evaluating Option D**: - Option D states: "Nuclear density is directly proportional to A." - Similar to our analysis in Option A, this statement is incorrect as nuclear density does not depend on the mass number A. - Therefore, this option is **incorrect**. ### Summary of Options: - Option A: Incorrect - Option B: Correct - Option C: Correct - Option D: Incorrect ### Final Answer: - The correct options regarding the nucleus are **B and C**.
