Question: The radius of germanium (Ge) nuclide is measured to be twice the radius of 49Be . The number of nucleons in Ge are

Options:

A) 74

B) 75

C) 72

D) 73

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • We use the formula, R=R0A1/3

This represents relation between atomic mass and radius of the nucleus.

For berillium, R1=R0(9)1/3 For germanium, R2=R0A1/3

R1R2=(9)1/3(A)1/312=(9)1/3(A)1/3
,18=9AA=8×9=72.
