Question : 11
Total: 31
Obtain approximately the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold isotope
197
79
Au
and the silver isotope
107
47
Ag

Solution:  
We know the radius of nucleus depend upon mass number ‘A’
As R = R0A13 , where R0 = 1.1 × 1015 m
R(
197
Au
)
R(
107
Ag
)
= (
197
107
)
13
= 1.23
Since the nuclear mass density is independent of the size of the nucleus,
so
ρnu(Au)
ρnu(Ag)
= 1
