Question 10 Structure of the Atom - Exercise

Which of the following are true for an element?

(i) Atomic number = number of protons + number of electrons

(ii) Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

(iii) Atomic mass = number of protons = number of neutrons

(iv) Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

(a) (i) and (ii)

(b) (i) and (iii)

(c) (ii) and (iii)

(d) (ii) and (iv)

Answer:

Answer is (d) (ii) and (iv)

Explanation:

Atomic number Z is the number of protons present in an electron which is also equal to a number of the electron in an atom. Since the mass of a neutron is negligible, a number of protons and electron is added to obtain a mass number of an element.
