The atomic number of an atom identifies the number of protons in its nucleus. if the overall charge on the atom is neutral, what must the atomic number also identify? a. the most common isotope's mass b. the average mass of all isotopes of the atom c. the number of electrons in the atom d. the number of neutrons in the atom

Calculate the minimum energy required to remove one proton from the nucleus 126c. this is called the proton-removal energy. (hint: find the difference between the mass of a 126c nucleus and the mass of a proton plus the mass of the nucleus formed when a proton is removed from 126c.) express your answer with the appropriate units. emin e m i n = nothing nothing request answer part b how does the proton-removal energy for 126c compare to the binding energy per nucleon for 126c, calculated using eb=(zmh+nmn−azm)c2?
