Question

Consider the following scenario. AMU is equivalent to ATOMIC NUMBER. THAT IS, AMU=Z

Answer 1

Answer:

that's wrong

Explanation:

the AMU(atomic mass unit) is roughly equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Answer 2

The provided question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, the complete question is as follows:

• AMU- ELECTRON NUMBER
• AMU-NEUTRON NUMBER
• The correct answer cannot be determined.
• AMU- PROTON+NEUTRONS+ELECTRONS
• AMU- PROTON+NEUTRONS

The correct answer that represents the AMU or atomic mass number Z, -

• AMU- PROTON+NEUTRONS

The mass of an atom is equivalent to the atomic mass unit and is defines as the one-twelfth mass of the carbon-12 atoms. This helps in measuring the atomic weight or mass of an atom.

• It is also called dalton.

• It is equal to the numbers of Protons and neutrons together.
• Z= P+N
• equal to approximately $1.66 x 10^{-27} kg$.
• AMU is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons, not electrons.

Thus, the correct answer is -

• AMU- PROTON+NEUTRONS
