The ratio of densities of nuclei with mass numbers A and 2A, respectively is |
1 : 2 2 : 1 1 : 1 $1 : 2^{1/3}$ |
1 : 1 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 1 : 1 Density of a nucleus: $\rho = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ Assuming spherical nucleus, radius $R \propto A^{1/3}$ Volume, $V \propto R^3 \propto A$ Mass, $M \propto A$ So, $\rho = \frac{M}{V} \propto \frac{A}{A} = \text{constant}$ Therefore, the ratio of densities of nuclei with mass numbers $A$ and $2A$ is: 1 : 1 |
