Correct Answer: Both I and II


Solution : The correct option is Both I and II.

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. It uniquely identifies an element.

Thus, the atomic number-number of protons statement is correct.

The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of particles (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus of an atom.

Thus, the mass number, or sum of the number of neutrons and protons, is also correct.
