Match List-I with List-II regarding the dependence of nuclear properties on mass number .
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| A. Nuclear Radius | I. Independent of |
| B. Nuclear Volume | II. Proportional to |
| C. Nuclear Density | III. Proportional to |
| D. Nuclear Mass | IV. Proportional to |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA - II, B - III, C - I, D - III
- BA - II, B - II, C - III, D - I
- CA - III, B - II, C - I, D - II
- DA - II, B - III, C - III, D - I
Correct answer
A. A - II, B - III, C - I, D - III
Step-by-step solution
The radius of a nucleus is given by . Thus, nuclear radius is proportional to (A matches to II).
The volume of the nucleus is . Thus, nuclear volume is proportional to (B matches to III).
Nuclear density is the ratio of nuclear mass to nuclear volume. Since both mass and volume are approximately proportional to , nuclear density is independent of (C matches to I).
The mass of a nucleus is approximately equal to times the mass of a nucleon. Thus, nuclear mass is approximately proportional to (D matches to III).
Therefore, the correct matching is A - II, B - III, C - I, D - III.
Answer: A - II, B - III, C - I, D - III
The volume of the nucleus is . Thus, nuclear volume is proportional to (B matches to III).
Nuclear density is the ratio of nuclear mass to nuclear volume. Since both mass and volume are approximately proportional to , nuclear density is independent of (C matches to I).
The mass of a nucleus is approximately equal to times the mass of a nucleon. Thus, nuclear mass is approximately proportional to (D matches to III).
Therefore, the correct matching is A - II, B - III, C - I, D - III.
Answer: A - II, B - III, C - I, D - III
