As per Nuclear Physics there is close relationship between mass number and radius of nucleus. If mass number of A is 216 and mass number of B is 27, then the ratio of nuclear radius $(r_A/r_B)$ of the two elements is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 2 : 1
The radius of a nucleus (r) is,
$r=r_0A^{1/3}$ [$r_0$ = Constant]
$⇒\frac{r_A}{r_B}=\left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)^{1/3}$
$=\left(\frac{216}{27}\right)^{1/3}=\frac{2}{1}$
