As the mass number increases, which of the following does not change?
Correct answer: B. Density
- A. Mass
- B. Density
- C. Volume
- D. Binding energy
Explanation
As the mass number A increases, this causes an increase in the volume of the nucleus; hence, density remains constant.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
