Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The nuclear density in general, is independent of mass number \(A\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, the radius \((R)\) of nucleus is given as \(R=R_0 A^{1 / 3}\) or \(R \propto A^{1 / 3}\) Where, \(\begin{aligned} R_0 & =\text { constant } \\ A & =\text { mass number }\end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Nuclear density,…
