Explain the graph of packing fraction versus mass number.

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
  • In the packing fraction versus mass number graph, the packing fraction plotted on y-axis and the corresponding mass number is plotted on x-axis.
  • Low packing fraction implies exceptional stability of the elements.
  • Transition elements have less packing fraction and more stability.
  • The elements with mass number beyond 200 have more packing fraction and less stability. 
The following figure shows packing fraction versus mass number graph:
