A) \[M>Z{{m}_{p}}+N{{m}_{n}}\]
B) \[M=Z{{m}_{p}}+N{{m}_{n}}\]
C) \[M<Z{{m}_{p}}+N{{m}_{n}}\]
D) M may be greater than, less than or equal to \[Z{{m}_{p}}+Z{{m}_{n}},\] depending on nature of element
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
When a nucleus is formed, then the mass of nucleus is slightly less than the sum of mass of Z protons and N neutrons. \[i.e.,M\,<\,(Z{{m}_{p}}+N{{m}_{n}})\]You need to login to perform this action.
