The ratio of the density of oxygen nucleus (O816)\left(O 816\right) and helium nucleus (He24)\left(He 24\right) is

Options

  1. A4:14: 1
  2. B8:18: 1
  3. C1:11: 1
  4. D2:12: 1

Correct answer

C. 1:11: 1

Step-by-step solution

The radius of a nucleus, RR is related to its atomic number AA as:

R=R0A13R = {R}_{0}A\dfrac{1}{3}

where R0{R}_{0} is the nuclear radius of hydrogen.

Thus, the density of a nucleus is given by:

d=\muA43π(R0A13)3=3μ4πR03=Constantd = \dfrac{\muA}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi{\left({R}_{0}{A}^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\right)}^{3}} = \dfrac{3\mu}{4\pi{R}_{0}^{3}} = \text{Constant}

(Here, μ\mu is atomic mass unit)

Hence, the ratio of nuclear density of oxygen to helium nucleus is 1:11: 1
