Staements I: The nucleus `._Z^AX` is having atomic mass as well as its mass number as `A`.
Staements II: Mass number of an element is an integer that specifies an isotopes and has no units, while atomic mass is generally not an integer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Atomic mass and mass number are different. Mass number is simply representing number of nucleons, while atomic mass is the average of the masses of isotopes of a given element and has units of u (atomic mass unit).
