If the nuclear radius of 27Al{}^{27}\mathrm{Al} is 3.6 Fermi, the approximate nuclear radius of 64Cu{}^{64}\mathrm{Cu} in Fermi is:

A

2.4

B

1.2

C

4.8

D

3.6

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Formula: The nuclear radius RR is related to the mass number AA by the formula R=R0A1/3R = R_0 A^{1/3}, where R0R_0 is a constant .
  2. Identify Values:
  • For Aluminum (27Al{}^{27}\mathrm{Al}): A1=27A_1 = 27, R1=3.6R_1 = 3.6 Fermi.
  • For Copper (64Cu{}^{64}\mathrm{Cu}): A2=64A_2 = 64, R2=?R_2 = ?
  1. Calculation: Taking the ratio of the radii: RCuRAl=(ACuAAl)1/3\frac{R_{Cu}}{R_{Al}} = \left( \frac{A_{Cu}}{A_{Al}} \right)^{1/3} RCu3.6=(6427)1/3\frac{R_{Cu}}{3.6} = \left( \frac{64}{27} \right)^{1/3} RCu3.6=(43)1/3(33)1/3=43\frac{R_{Cu}}{3.6} = \frac{(4^3)^{1/3}}{(3^3)^{1/3}} = \frac{4}{3} RCu=3.6×43=1.2×4=4.8 FermiR_{Cu} = 3.6 \times \frac{4}{3} = 1.2 \times 4 = 4.8 \text{ Fermi}
