liquid drop model.

According to this model, nuclei of all the elements behave like a liquid drop. As observed that binding energy of the nucleus is proportional to the number of nucleons. It is similar to binding of molecules in a liquid drop. A small drop is spherical because of surface tension. A nucleus is also assumed to be spherical in shape. The density of a liquid drop is independent of its value. But it depend on the nature of liquid. In case of nucleus, the nuclear density is independent of nuclear volume and it is same for all type of nuclei.
