Question

Which of the following properties of a nucleus does not depend on its mass number?

Options

• Radius

• Mass

• Volume

• Density

Answer 1

Density

Explanation:

The formula used to calculate the density of a nucleus is,

`D = M/V`

`D = (Am_N)/((4pir_0^3 A)/3)`

`D = (3m_N)/(4pir_0^3)`

Where m_N = mass of a nuclean

Therefore, the density of a nucleus does not depend on the mass number.
