Thus the density of nucleus is a constant, independent of A, for all nuclei Different nuclei are like a drop of liquid of constant density The density of nuclear matter is approximately 2 3 × 1017 kg m–3

Different nuclei are like a drop of liquid of constant density The density of nuclear matter is approximately 2 3 × 1017 kg m–3 This density is very large compared to ordinary matter, say water, which is 103 kg m–3

The density of nuclear matter is approximately 2 3 × 1017 kg m–3 This density is very large compared to ordinary matter, say water, which is 103 kg m–3 This is understandable, as we have already seen that most of the atom is empty
