                    The radius of germanium (Ge) nuclide is measured to be twice the radius of \[_{4}^{9}Be\]. The number of nucleons in Ge are:

    A)                                                                                                                                                                                             73         

    B)                  74                         

    C)                  75        

    D)                  72

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Let radius of \[_{4}^{9}Be\] nucleus be r. Then radius of germanium (Ge) nucleus will be 2r.                 Radius of a nucleus is given by                 \[R={{R}_{0}}\,\,{{A}^{1/3}}\] \[\therefore \frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{A}_{1}}}{{{A}_{2}}} \right)}^{1/3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{r}{2r}={{\left( \frac{9}{{{A}_{2}}} \right)}^{13}}(\because \,{{A}_{1}}=9)\] \[\Rightarrow {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{9}{{{A}_{2}}}\] Hence,  \[{{A}_{2}}=9\times {{(2)}^{3}}\]                 \[=9\times 8\]                   = 72                 Thus, in germanium (Ge) nucleus number of nucleus is 72.
