Question

Using the chart above,determine which statement would be false?
A
B
C
D

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass number is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Therefore, the statement each element would have a mass number of 12 would be false.

Answer 2

Answer : The false statement will be C.

Explanation :

• Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

• Atomic mass = Atomic number + Number of neutrons

The data of the given table is,

Element : Carbon

Atomic number = 6

Number of proton = 6

Number of electron = 6

Number of neutron = 6

Atomic mass = 12

Element : Oxygen

Atomic number = 8

Number of proton = 8

Number of electron = 8

Number of neutron = 8

Atomic mass = 16

Element : Hydrogen

Atomic number = 1

Number of proton = 1

Number of electron = 1

Number of neutron = 0

Atomic mass = 1

Element : Neon

Atomic number = 10

Number of proton = 10

Number of electron = 10

Number of neutron = 10

Atomic mass = 20

Hence, the false statement will be C.
