    The size of the nucleus of an atom of mass number A is proportional to

    A)  \[{{A}^{3/4}}\]            

    B)  \[{{A}^{2/3}}\]

    C)  \[{{A}^{1/3}}\]            

    D)  \[{{A}^{5/3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Nuclear radius is proportional to \[{{A}^{1/3}}\], where A is the mass number of nucleus, ie, \[R\propto {{A}^{1/3}}\]. \[\Rightarrow R={{R}_{0}}{{A}^{1/3}}\]. where \[{{R}_{0}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-15}}m\]
