Solution

All choices are true.

Here's why:

  1. The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. So, a nucleus with an atomic number of 10 must have 10 protons.

  2. The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. So, a nucleus with a mass number of 22 must have 22 nucleons (protons + neutrons).

  3. Given that the atomic number is 10 (meaning there are 10 protons) and the mass number is 22 (the total number of protons and neutrons), the number of neutrons must be 12 (22 total nucleons - 10 protons = 12 neutrons).
