Shell model of the nucleus Questions

1. Write down the configuration of $^7Li, ^{13}C$ and $ ^{25}Mg$ in the ground state of the nuclear shell model. [Mains 2002]

2. Explain shell model of the nucleus. Give evidence for nuclear shell structure. What are the limitations of the shell model?

3. Write down the nucleonic configuration of $ ^7Li,\ ^{12}C,\ ^{17}O \ $and$ \ ^{27}Al $. In the ground state of the nuclear shell model and hence calculate the corresponding ground state angular momenta and parties. How do the observed ground state angular momenta and parities agree with those predicted on the basis of the shell model? [Mains 2007]
