Compare the radii of two nuclei with mass number 8 and 27 respectively.

Explanation

To compare the radii of two nuclei with mass numbers 8 and 27, we can use the formula for the radius of a nucleus, which is given by:

\[ R = R_0 A^{1/3} \]

where:
- \( R \) is the radius of the nucleus,
- \( R_0 \) is a constant (approximately \( 1.2 \, \text{fm} \)),
- \( A \) is the mass number of the nucleus.
