Mean square radii; nucleon density distributions; nucleon momentum distributions; elastic electron scattering form factors.

The nucleon momentum distributions (NMD) and elastic electron scattering form factors of the ground state for 1p-shell nuclei with $Z = N$ (such as ⁶Li, ¹⁰B, ¹²C and ¹⁴N nuclei) have been calculated in the framework of the coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM) and expressed in terms of the weight function $|f(x)|^2$. The weight function has been expressed in terms of nucleon density distribution (NDD) of the nuclei and determined from the theory and the experiment. The feature of the long-tail behaviour at high-momentum region of the NMDs has been obtained by both the theoretical and experimental weight functions. The experimental form factors $F(q)$ of all the considered nuclei are very well reproduced by the present calculations for all values of momentum transfer 𝑞. It is found that the contributions of the quadrupole form factors $F_{C2}(q)$ in ¹⁰B and ¹⁴N nuclei, which are described by the undeformed p-shell model, are essential for obtaining a remarkable agreement between the theoretical and experimental form factors.
