Nucleus of an atom whose atomic mass is 24 consists of:
Correct answer: C. 11 protons and 13 neutrons
- A. 11 electrons, 11 protons and 13 neutrons
- B. 11 electrons, 13 protons and 11 neutrons
- C. 11 protons and 13 neutrons
- D. 11 protons and 13 electrons
Explanation
Nucleus of an atom whose atomic mass is 24 consists of:A = P+N24=11+13So, number of protons = 11Number of neutrons = 13

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
