Write the formula for the average radius of a nucleus.
(N/A) The radius $R$ of a nucleus is related to its mass number $A$ by the empirical formula:
$R = R_0 A^{1/3}$
Where:
$R$ is the radius of the nucleus.
$A$ is the mass number (total number of protons and neutrons).
$R_0$ is a constant,approximately equal to $1.2 \times 10^{-15} \ m$ or $1.2 \ fm$ (femtometers).
$R = R_0 A^{1/3}$
Where:
$R$ is the radius of the nucleus.
$A$ is the mass number (total number of protons and neutrons).
$R_0$ is a constant,approximately equal to $1.2 \times 10^{-15} \ m$ or $1.2 \ fm$ (femtometers).
