Answer 5_5_4

What is the nuclear radius of  an iron atom, of which the nucleus contains 56 nucleons.  Would it be any different to a cobalt-56 nucleus?

 

R = 1.4 × 10-15 m ´ 3Ö56

 

R = 1.4 × 10-15 m ´ 3.83 (P)

 

= 5.36 ´ 10-15 m (P)

There would be no difference  because there are the same number of nucleons.
