Nuclear Density Calculation
Asked by Puneet Chavda · 2 years ago
How is the density of the nucleus calculated, and what is its approximate value?
1 Answer
The density of the nucleus is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. The approximate value of nuclear density is:
• 1.8 × 10^14 g/cm^3
This extremely high density is due to the concentration of protons and neutrons in a very small volume. It's important to note that nuclear density is nearly constant for all nuclei, regardless of their size.
