The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
A
mass number
B
atomic number
C
atomic mass units
D
Law of Conservation of Mass
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.

Detailed explanation-3: -neutron, neutral subatomic particle that is a constituent of every atomic nucleus except ordinary hydrogen. It has no electric charge and a rest mass equal to 1.67492749804 × 10−27 kg-marginally greater than that of the proton but 1, 838.68 times greater than that of the electron.

Detailed explanation-4: -The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called it’s Atomic number.
