In nuclear reactions, ______________ number is conserved?

Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.

  • A. Mass
  • B. Atomic
  • C. Both A. & B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

In nuclear reactions, conservation applies to mass number and atomic number: the total nucleon count and total charge remain balanced on both sides. Strictly, it is mass number rather than rest mass that is conserved in this accounting sense.
