Uncategorized: Practice Problem & Solution

19. The ratio of the radii of the nuclei $ _{13}Al^{27} $ and $ _{52}Te^{125} $ approximately (1990)
$ 6 : 10 $
$ 13 : 52 $
$ 40 : 177 $
$ 14 : 73 $

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Uncategorized. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The radius of a nucleus is given by $ R = R_0 A^{1/3} $. The ratio of their radii is $ R_{Al} / R_{Te} = (A_{Al} / A_{Te})^{1/3} = (27 / 125)^{1/3} = 3 / 5 = 6 / 10 $.
