The mass number of an atom of ¹⁴C is: A)6 B)20 C)8 D)14 E)10

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass number of an atom is given by the sum of protons and neutrons. The atomic symbol provided, "¹⁴C," can be decoded as "SUPERSPIC," which doesn't directly relate to any known element or provide clear numerical data for calculating mass number. However, given the options and the lack of clear context, the correct answer is chosen based on the available options rather than the encoded message, which seems to be a distraction. Among the given choices, 14 is selected as the correct answer, but without a clear rationale from the question's context, this is a best guess rather than a calculation.
