Mass number is the sum of number of Neutrons and Protons in the nucleus.

Please justified how to sum the proton and electron, which is equal to mass number.

Please justify, how option D is possible.

Sunilmenaria said:   9 years ago
D is the wrong option since the mass of the electron is negligible in comparison to neutron hence A and B cannot be equal.

AVANEESH KUMAR said:   8 years ago
Yes, agree @Sunilmenaria.

Rince said:   7 years ago
Mass no = the total number of protons and neutron.

I think the option D is wrong,

The mass number puts into consideration the number of Protons and Neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Both Options A and C are correct.

TANMAY SHAH said:   2 years ago
The mass number of an atom = protons + neutrons.
So, the option A is the right answer.
