    The nucleus of an atom can be assumed to be spherical. The radius of the nucleus of mass number A is given by\[1.25\times {{10}^{-13}}\times {{A}^{1/3}}cm\].Radius of atom is one\[\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. If the mass number is 64, then the fraction of the atomic volume that is occupied by the nucleus is

    A)  \[1.0\times {{10}^{-3}}\]

    B)  \[5.0\times {{10}^{-5}}\]

    C)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{-2}}\]

    D)  \[1.25\times {{10}^{-13}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Radius of nucleus \[=1.25\times 10{{~}^{13}}\times {{A}^{1/3}}cm\]    \[=1.25\times 10{{~}^{-13}}\times {{64}^{1/3}}\] \[=1.25\times 10{{~}^{-13}}\times 4cm\] \[=5\times 10{{~}^{-13}}cm\] Radius of atom\[=1\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,={{10}^{-8}}cm\] Volume of nucleus/ volume of atom \[=\frac{(4/3)\pi {{(5\times {{10}^{-13}})}^{3}}}{(4/3)\pi {{({{10}^{-8}})}^{3}}}\] \[=\frac{125\times {{10}^{-39}}}{{{10}^{-24}}}\] \[=125\times {{10}^{-15}}\] \[=1.25\times {{10}^{-13}}\]
