what value is closest to the mass of the atom?\no 4 amu\no 6 amu\no 10 amu\no 14 amu

Explanation:

Step1: Recall atomic mass composition

Atomic mass is mainly due to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons each have a mass of approximately 1 amu. Electrons have negligible mass.

Step2: Count protons and neutrons

Count the red (neutrons) and blue (protons) particles in the nucleus. There are 6 protons and 4 neutrons.

Step3: Calculate atomic mass

Atomic mass = number of protons + number of neutrons. So, 6 + 4 = 10 amu.

Answer:

10 amu
