text: For stable nuclei (not halo nuclei or other unstable distorted nuclei) the nuclear radius is roughly proportional to the cube root of the mass number (A) of the nucleus, and particularly in nuclei containing many nucleons, as they arrange in more spherical configurations:
text: If the volume of the nucleus is proportional to A, then the radius should be proportional to A 1 / 3 {\displaystyle A^{1/3}} and the surface area to A 2 / 3 {\displaystyle A^{2/3}} .
text: Identifying Q with Z e {\displaystyle Ze} , and noting as above that the radius is proportional to A 1 / 3 {\displaystyle A^{1/3}} , we get close to the form of the Coulomb term.
