An element of mass

\mathrm{M}

has

\mathrm{Z}

protons and

\mathrm{N}

neutrons. Masses of proton and neutron are

m_p

and

m_n

respectively. Choose the correct relation among following options

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

M < Z m_p+N m_n

Option C (

M < Z m_p+N m_n

) is correct because the mass of the nucleus is always less than the sum of the masses of its constituent protons and neutrons due to the binding energy.
