Question

If m, mn and mp are the masses of zXA nucleus, neutron and proton respectively, then: (A) m<(A-Z) mn+Z mp (B) m=(A-Z) mn+Z mp (C) m=(A-Z) mp+Z mp (D) m>(A-Z) mn+Z mp

The mass of nucleus formed is always less than the sum of the masses of the constituents protons and neutrons, i-e., m <( A - Z ) m n + Zm p

Q. If $m, m_{n}$ and $m_{p}$ are the masses of $z^{X^{A}}$ nucleus, neutron and proton respectively, then:

$m < (A - Z) m_{n} + Z m_{p}$

$m = (A - Z) m_{n} + Z m_{p}$

$m = (A - Z) m_{p} + Z m_{p}$

$m > (A - Z) m_{n} + Z m_{p}$

The mass of nucleus formed is always less than the sum of the masses of the constituents protons and neutrons, i-e., $m < (A - Z) m_{n} + Z m_{p}$

Q. If m,mn​ and mp​ are the masses of zXA nucleus, neutron and proton respectively, then:

m<(A−Z)mn​+Zmp​

m=(A−Z)mn​+Zmp​

m=(A−Z)mp​+Zmp​

m>(A−Z)mn​+Zmp​
