4 Marker Question
Case/ Source Based
1. Protons are present in the nucleus of an atom. It is the number of protons in an atom,
which determines its atomic number. It is denoted by ' Z '. All atoms of an element have
the same atomic number, Z. Elements are defined by the number of protons they possess.
For hydrogen, Z=1, because in hydrogen atoms only one proton is present is the nucleus.
Therefore, the atomic number is defined as the total number of protons present in the
nucleus of an atom. The mass of an atom is practically due to protons and neutrons alone.
These are present in the nucleus of an atom. Hence protons and neutrons are also called
nucleons. Therefore, the mass of an atom resides in its nucleus. For example, the mas of
carbon is 12u because it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, 6u+6u=12u. Similarly the mass of
aluminium is 27u (13 protons +14 neutrons). The mass number is defined as the sum of
the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. It is denoted by
'A'
(i) What is atomic number and mass number

(ii) What has atomic mass 9 and atomic number 4 ?
(iii) What element has 44 atomic mass?
(iv) Number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of the element having atomic
number 25 and atomic weight 55.
OR
What is the total number of neutrons in dipositive zinc ions with mass number
