Question 1

What does the empirical formula for nuclear size indicate about the relationship between mass number and size?

  • Size increases linearly with mass number
  • Size increases as the square of mass number
  • Size increases with the cube root of mass number

💡 Hint: Remember the specific formula we studied.

Question 2

True or False: The density of nuclear matter is inconsistent across different nuclei.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how we discussed density previously.
