How is size of a nucleus experimentally determined? Write the relation between the radius and mass number of the nucleus. Show that the density of nucleus is independent of its mass number.

Answer»

Solution :Size of a NUCLEUS is experimentally ESTIMATED from Rutherford’s alpha-particle scattering experiment. Radius R of a nucleus of mass NUMBER A is GIVEN by the relation:
`R =R_(0)[A]^(1/3)`, where `R_(0)`=a constant=1.2 fm.
