As the mass number A increases, which of the following quantities related to a nucleus do not change?
The average radius
of a nucleus is given by
![]()
Where
is the mass number and
m.
The Volume of the nucleus
is given by (Putting equation (1))
![]()
Since, the number of protons and neutrons
are nearly same, say
, the Mass
is approximately equal to
![]()
Density is given by
![]()
The above equation of density says that it is independent of A. So as mass number A increases, density do not change.
