Question

Mn and Mp represent mass of neutron and proton respectively. If an element having atomic mass M has N neutrons and Z protons, then the correct relation will be: (A) M<[N Mn+Z Mp] (B) M>[ NM n + ZM p ] (C) M=[N Mn+Z Mp] (D) M=[N][Mn+Mp]

Actual mass of the nucleus is always less than total mass of nucleons, so M <( NM n + ZM p )

Q. $M_{n}$ and $M_{p}$ represent mass of neutron and proton respectively. If an element having atomic mass $M$ has $N$ neutrons and $Z$ protons, then the correct relation will be:

$M < [N M_{n} + Z M_{p}]$

$M > [N M_{n} + Z M_{p}]$

$M = [N M_{n} + Z M_{p}]$

$M = [N] [M_{n} + M_{p}]$

Actual mass of the nucleus is always less than total mass of nucleons, so $M < (N M_{n} + Z M_{p})$

Q. Mn​ and Mp​ represent mass of neutron and proton respectively. If an element having atomic mass M has N neutrons and Z protons, then the correct relation will be:

M<[NMn​+ZMp​]

M>[NMn​+ZMp​]

M=[NMn​+ZMp​]

M=[N][Mn​+Mp​]
