Mass number is equal to:

Answer: Protons + Neutrons.

  • A Protons + Neutrons
  • B Protons + Electrons
  • C Electrons + Neutrons
  • D Only electrons

Correct answer: A. Protons + Neutrons

Explanation: Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
