The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the radius and volume of the nuclei based on their mass numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Volume of a Nucleus**: The volume \( V \) of a spherical nucleus is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] where \( R \) is the radius of the nucleus. 2. **Relating Radius to Mass Number**: According to empirical observations, the radius \( R \) of a nucleus can be expressed as: \[ R = R_0 A^{1/3} \] where \( R_0 \) is a constant and \( A \) is the mass number of the nucleus. 3. **Calculating the Radius for \( O^{16} \)**: For the oxygen-16 nucleus (\( O^{16} \)), the mass number \( A = 16 \): \[ R = R_0 (16)^{1/3} \] 4. **Calculating the Radius for \( X^{128} \)**: For the nucleus \( X^{128} \) with mass number \( A = 128 \): \[ R' = R_0 (128)^{1/3} \] 5. **Finding the Ratio of Radii**: We can find the ratio of the radii \( R' \) and \( R \): \[ \frac{R'}{R} = \frac{R_0 (128)^{1/3}}{R_0 (16)^{1/3}} = \frac{(128)^{1/3}}{(16)^{1/3}} = \left(\frac{128}{16}\right)^{1/3} = (8)^{1/3} = 2 \] Therefore, we have: \[ R' = 2R \] 6. **Finding the Volume Ratio**: Now, we can find the ratio of the volumes \( V' \) and \( V \): \[ V' = \frac{4}{3} \pi (R')^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2R)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (8R^3) = 8 \left(\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3\right) = 8V \] Thus, we have: \[ V' = 8V \] ### Conclusion: From our calculations, we find that: - The radius of nucleus \( X^{128} \) is \( R' = 2R \). - The volume of nucleus \( X^{128} \) is \( V' = 8V \). ### Correct Options: - \( V' = 8V \) (Option A) - \( R' = 2R \) (Option C)
