Question 31 Mark
How is the radius of a nucleus related to its mass number?###Write the relation between radius R and mass number A of a nucleus.
Answer
If the nucleus is considered approximately spherical with radius R and mass number A , then it has the following relation :
$R=R_0 A^{1 / 3}$ where $R_0$ is a constant.

Question 51 Mark
What will be the difference in the chemical properties of radioactive isotopes and stable isotopes of an element?
Answer
There is no difference, because the chemical properties depend on the electrons of the atom, whereas the number of neutrons in the atom varies in isotopes.

Question 61 Mark
What is nuclear fusion?
Answer
At high temperature and pressure, light nuclei combines to form a heavy nucleus and release energy, this is called nuclear fusion.

Question 71 Mark
Nuclear fusion reaction is more difficult than nuclear fission. Why?
Answer
High temperature of order of $10^7 K$ for nuclear fusion is necessary to have heat which is difficult to obtain.

Question 201 Mark
What will be the relationship between the mass loss $\Delta M$ of a nucleus and its binding energy ( E )?
Answer
$E =\Delta M . c ^2$

Question 211 Mark
The ratio of mass numbers of two nuclei is $1: 3$.
What is the ratio of their nuclear density?
Answer
Because nuclear density is same for all nuclei.
Hence $\rho_1: \rho_2:: 1: 1$.
