A learner adds electrons when calculating mass number. What is the correction?

  1. Count electrons but omit neutrons.
  2. Count only protons and neutrons.Respuesta correcta
  3. Count every particle equally.
  4. Count electrons and neutrons only.

Explicación

Mass number includes the protons and neutrons in the nucleus and excludes electrons. Counting every atomic particle would change the defined quantity and incorrectly add very low-mass external particles.
