bot dead answer: C & D only i dont get why A is false if R = Ro * A^(1/3) i'm not exactly sure what B is asking and i don't seem to remember anything about D and E in NCERT
SirLancelotDuLac
Why would A be true can you elaborate?
Nimboi [ping if answering]
surface area proportional to R^2, which is proportional to A^2/3 wait but thats for the whole atom
SirLancelotDuLac
That's for surface tension and drop thingy no?
Nimboi [ping if answering]
surface tension ah? nono thats for the whole atom the question specifies per nucleon confused okay hang on just try to do this from scratch my thought process seems muddied @Moderator hello guiz can one of u ping the Gyro Gearloose role bot died when i posted this so the ping msg didnt come

koi help kar dijiye aapka bhala ho jayega

Okay, as far as I have figured out: A. Surface energy is proportional to area proportional to A^2/3. So surface energy per nucleon is proportional to A^(-1/3) ('Cuz of A nucleons) B. Ig you have to assume uniform distribution of protons. The given option implies that all protons are in periphery of nuclei which is false. (Also dimensionally wrong as A^(1/3) hona chahiye tha ig) D because of this E maybe trivia, but I have no idea.

ahh yeah B makes sense now "coulomb contribution to the binding energy" = fancy phrase for electrostatic potential energy however i thought R = R_0 * A^1/3 was supposed to apply for the atom as a whole hence the A^(1/3) correct term
SirLancelotDuLac
That's for nuclei not an atom
Nimboi [ping if answering]
nuclei sorry i thought it was supposed to apply for the whole nucleus not distances between individual nucleons which are supposed to be whats contributing to potential energy but yeah you can mark B off as dimensionally wrong
SirLancelotDuLac
Well, B is dimensionally wrong. But yeah, I made an assumption that protons are uniformly distributed over the nuclei and visualize the nucleus as a drop of small +ve charges

yeah i came across some liquid drop model online while tryna figure this out i think i'll do some further curiosity research on this part, but for now i'll mark as solved thank u 👍 +solved @SirLancelotDuLac
