The mass number of nucleus having radius equal to half of the radius of nucleus with mass number 192192 is:

Options

  1. A2424
  2. B3232
  3. C4040
  4. D2020

Correct answer

A. 2424

Step-by-step solution

Given: R1=R22{R}_{1} = \dfrac{{R}_{2}}{2}

As we know, size of the nucleus is given by R=R0(A)1/3R = {R}_{0}{\left(A\right)}^{1 / 3}

Therefore, we can write R0(A1)1/3=R02(A2)1/3{R}_{0}{\left({A}_{1}\right)}^{1 / 3} = \dfrac{{R}_{0}}{2}{\left({A}_{2}\right)}^{1 / 3}

⇒A1=18A2⇒ {A}_{1} = \dfrac{1}{8}{A}_{2}

⇒A1=1928=24⇒ {A}_{1} = \dfrac{192}{8} = 24
