D.14 amu

Answer 1

Answer:

The value is closest to the mass of the atom is 10amu.

Answer 2

The value that comes closest to the mass of an atom is (C) 10 amu.

Explanation:

• The amount of matter contained in an atom of an element is referred to as atomic mass.
• It's a multiple of one-twelfth of the mass of the $carbon^{-12}$ atom gram.
• The total mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up the atom is somewhat less than the observable atomic mass. During the conjunction of these particles, the difference, known as the mass defect, is accounted for by converting it into binding energy.
