Answer :

The radius of this nucleus is [tex]4.3054\times 10^{-15}[/tex]m.

What is a nucleus?

A core of the atom that is positively charged. It is made up of two different subatomic particle kinds that are closely clustered. Protons, which have a positive electric charge, and neutrons, which have no electric charge, are the particles.

The nucleus has a radius of about [tex]10^{-15}[/tex]m. The nucleus has a diameter of about  [tex]10^{-15}[/tex]m, which is 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of an atom, which is on the order of [tex]10^{-10}[/tex]m.

The average radius of the nucleus is given by the equation,

[tex]R = R_{0} A^ {\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]

Here R is the average nuclear radius

[tex]R_{0}[/tex] is the Fermis constant = [tex]1.1 \times 10^{15}[/tex]m

A is the mass number = 28 protons + 32 neutrons = 60

Calculating the nuclear radius from mass number:

[tex]R = 1.1\times 10^{-15} m\times 60^{1/3} \\[/tex]

[tex]R=1.1\times10^{-15} \times 3.914[/tex]

[tex]R=4.3054\times 10^{-15}[/tex]m
