Looking at the model of Beryllium, explain what the mass number for this atom. Give evidence to support your answer.

• The mass number is 4 because there are 4 protons in the nucleus.

• The mass number is 9 because there are 4 protons and 5 neutrons in the nucleus.

• The mass number is 13 because there are 4 protons, 5 neutrons, and 4 electrons in the atom.

• The mass number cannot be determined from the model.
