Match List-I with List-II regarding the dependence of nuclear properties on mass number AA.

List-IList-II
A. Nuclear RadiusI. Independent of AA
B. Nuclear VolumeII. Proportional to A1/3A^{1/3}
C. Nuclear DensityIII. Proportional to AA
D. Nuclear MassIV. Proportional to A−1/3A^{-1/3}


Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA - II, B - III, C - I, D - III
  2. BA - II, B - II, C - III, D - I
  3. CA - III, B - II, C - I, D - II
  4. 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 R=R0A1/3R = R_0 A^{1/3}. Thus, nuclear radius is proportional to A1/3A^{1/3} (A matches to II).

The volume of the nucleus is V=43πR3=43πR03AV = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi R_0^3 A. Thus, nuclear volume is proportional to AA (B matches to III).

Nuclear density is the ratio of nuclear mass to nuclear volume. Since both mass and volume are approximately proportional to AA, nuclear density is independent of AA (C matches to I).

The mass of a nucleus is approximately equal to AA times the mass of a nucleon. Thus, nuclear mass is approximately proportional to AA (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
