A
The volume of a nucleus is proportional to 
.
A and D are true, but B and C are false
. A and D are true, but B and C are false
B
The volume of a nucleus is proportional to A.
B and D are true, but A and C are false
B and D are true, but A and C are false
C
The difference in mass of an atom and its nucleus is called the mass defect.
B and C are true, but A and D are false
B and C are true, but A and D are false
D
The difference in mass of a nucleus and its constituents is called the mass defect.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A and C are true, but B and D are false
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A and C are true, but B and D are false
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
( A) False, because 
True, because 
False, because
(Mass of atom - Mass of nucleus)
total mass of electrons
True, because
(Total mass of constituents - Mass of a nucleus)
Mass of nucleus - Total mass of constituents)
