Calculate the nuclear radius of cobalt-27.
Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the nuclear radius of cobalt-27.
Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • Nuclear density is almost similar for all elements. Thus the number of protons and neutrons inside a nucleus per unit volume will be approximately the same for all elements.

 

  • Thus if we assume a nucleus to be spherical then the nuclear radius will be proportional to the cube root of the mass number. Thus we can write,

r=r0A13

Here r0 is a constant of proportionality, and A is the mass number of the element.
