Question
what value is closest to the mass of the atom? 4 amu 6 amu 10 amu 14 amu
Step1: Know atomic mass composition
Atomic mass is mainly determined by protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 amu each.
Step2: Count protons and neutrons
Count the number of particles in the nucleus (protons and neutrons). Assume red spheres are protons, blue are neutrons. Counting them gives a total of 10 particles in the nucleus.
