The graph below shows the nuclear radius of some nuclei in femtometers $(1 \mathrm{fm}=1\times {10}^{-15} \mathrm{m})$

Draw a line of best fit on a copy of the graph.

The graph below shows the nuclear radius of some nuclei in femtometers $(1 \mathrm{fm}=1\times {10}^{-15} \mathrm{m})$

Use the graph to predict the radius of a nucleus of tungsten$-184$.

A model of the nucleus called the liquid drop model suggests that the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to the number of protons and neutrons in it.

A graph of the volume of nuclei against mass number is shown below.

Using your value of the radius of tungsten$-184$ from the first graph, calculate the volume of this nucleus. (Assume that the nucleus is a sphere).

A model of the nucleus called the liquid drop model suggests that the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to the number of protons and neutrons in it.

A graph of the volume of nuclei against mass number is shown below.

How would you classify the trend of this graph$?$

A graph of the volume of nuclei against mass number is shown below.

Add volume of tungsten$-184$ to this graph.

A model of the nucleus called the liquid drop model suggests that the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to the number of protons and neutrons in it.

A graph of the volume of nuclei against mass number is shown below.

Discuss whether the liquid drop model of the nucleus appears to be a good model. You should refer to the graph in your answer.
