Q1: Liquid drop model of nuclei: Describe how one views a nucleus in this model. What is the nucleus made of?

What is the relationship between the atomic number, A, and the nuclear radius?

According to this model, how does nuclear density scale with A?

Q2: What are the indications that the "nucleus is made of alpha particles" model might work?

Discuss why protons and neutrons could be considered as the basic constituents of a nucleus?

Why could alpha particles be considered as the basic constituents of a nucleus?

Where does the "nucleus is made of alpha particles" model work better, for high A or for low A?

Q3: How many stable nuclei are there? How many unstable, approximately? What is the highest Z of all stable nuclei?

What is the reason that there are no stable nuclei above that Z? Why do high-A stable nuclei have more neutrons than

protons?

In a nuclear fission reaction a heavy nucleus divides to form smaller nuclei and one or...

In a nuclear fission reaction a heavy nucleus divides to form smaller nuclei and one or more neutrons. Many nuclei can undergo fission, but the fission reactions of uranium-235 and plutonium-239 are the principal ones that generate energy in nuclear power plants. This problem deals with balancing the fission reaction of the uranium-235 isotope as it undergoes bombardment from a neutron. Part A When a 235 92U nucleus is bombarded by neutrons (10n) it undergoes a fission reaction, resulting in...

Describe what adverse effects might happen if a company decided to drop a segment (one of many) that shows a net loss after subtraction of allocated fixed costs. If a company’s management is highly concerned about downside risk and the possibility of losing money, and less concerned about high profitability when sales are high, would they prefer to have more variable costs or more fixed costs? Why?
