    The stable nucleus that has a radius half that of\[F{{e}^{56}}\] is :

    A) \[L{{i}^{7}}\]                                      

    B) \[N{{a}^{21}}\]

    C)  \[{{S}^{16}}\]                                   

    D) \[C{{a}^{40}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: The radius of nucleus is proportional to cube root of atomic mass. The nuclear radius is \[R\propto {{A}^{1/3}}\]              ?...(i) or            \[A\propto {{R}^{3}}\] or            \[\frac{{{A}_{1}}}{{{A}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)}^{3}}\]          Here,     \[{{R}_{1}}=R,{{R}_{2}}=\frac{R}{2},A=56\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{56}{{{A}^{2}}}={{\left( \frac{R}{R/2} \right)}^{3}}={{2}^{3}}=8\] or            \[{{A}_{2}}=\frac{56}{8}=7\]    Thus, stable nucleus will be \[L{{i}^{7}}\].
