Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium

If the nucleus of ²⁷₁₃Al has a nuclear radius of about 3.6 fm, then ¹²⁵₅₂Te would have its radius approximately as

A

9.6 fm

B

12 fm

C

4.8 fm

D

6 fm

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The nuclear radius is proportional to the cube root of the mass number. Using the formula R₂ = R₁ × (A₂/A₁)^(1/3), we find R₂ = 3.6 × (125/27)^(1/3) = 6 fm.
