Options
- A(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
- B(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
- C(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
- D(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
Correct answer
B. (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
Step-by-step solution
The number of neutrons in an atom is calculated as the difference between its mass number ( A ) and atomic number ( Z ), i.e., n = A - Z . For ²⁴₁₂Mg , n = 24 - 12 = 12 . This matches (II). For ²⁷₁₃Al , n = 27 - 13 = 14 . This matches (IV). For ⁹₄Be , n = 9 - 4 = 5 . This matches (I). For ¹²₆C , n = 12 - 6 = 6 . This matches (III). The correct matching is (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III). Answer: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
