The mass number of nucleus having radius equal to half of the radius of nucleus with mass number 192 is:
Options
- A24
- B32
- C40
- D20
Correct answer
A. 24
Step-by-step solution
Given: R 1 = R 2 2 As we know, size of the nucleus is given by R = R 0 A 1 / 3 Therefore, we can write R 0 A 1 1 / 3 = R 0 2 A 2 1 / 3 ⇒ A 1 = 1 8 A 2 ⇒ A 1 = 192 8 = 24
