Question
Explain the following:
An element has atoms with different mass numbers.
Solution
Mass of an atom is contributed by mass of protons and mass of neutrons present inside the nucleus of an atom. Atoms of the same element contain the same number of protons but may differ in their number of neutrons. Therefore, an element has atoms with different mass numbers.
