`m_(p) and m_(n)` are masses of proton and neutron respectively. An element of mass M has Z protons and N neutrons then

A

`M gt Zm_(p)+Nm_(n)`

B

`M=Zm_(p)+Nm_(n)`

C

`M lt Zm_(p)+Nm_(n)`

D

M may be greater than

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When a nucleus is formed, then the mass of nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the mass of Z protons and N neutrons.
i.e. `M lt (Zm_(p)+Nm_(n))`
