Question

Is the following statement correct ?

The mass of a hydrogen atom is $\frac{1}{12}$th the mass of a carbon atom.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. The mass of a hydrogen ($\mathrm{H}$) atom = 1g
2. The mass of a carbon ($\mathrm{C}$) atom = 12g
3. Therefore, mass of a hydrogen atom is equal to $\frac{1}{12}th$ mass of a carbon atom.
4. Hence, the given statement is true.
