    Obtain approximately the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold isotope and the silver isotope.
    Ans : Nuclear radius of the gold isotope = RAu

    Nuclear radius of the silver isotope = RAg

    Mass number of gold, AAu = 197

    Mass number of silver, AAg = 107

    The ratio of the radii of the two nuclei is related with their mass numbers as:



    Hence, the ratio of the nuclear radii of the gold and silver isotopes is about 1.23.
