MCQ
Nucleons are equal to :
  • A
    Number of electrons in an atom
  • B
    Number of protons in the nucleus
  • C
    Number of neutrons in the nucelus
  • Number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Answer

Correct option: D.
Number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
d
Nucleons are equal to number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

eg: If the given atom or isotope is $He _2^4 He _{ Z }^{ A }$

$Z=2$ Number of protons

$A=4$ Number of nucleons

$A - Z =4-2=2$ Number of neutrons

Hence nucleons $=$ number of $[$ protons $+$ neutrons $]$
