The neutral atoms of all isotopes of the same element contain the same number of electrons. (Option B)
- Isotopes are atoms of an element that have the same atomic number, which means they have the same number of electrons and protons.
- For example, hydrogen (¹H₁), deuterium (²H₁), and tritium (³H₁) are an illustration of isotopes of the hydrogen atom. It means that hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium all have the same atomic number, 1, and the same number of protons and electrons. They are different in terms of neutron number and atomic mass.
- Because all isotopes of an element possess these characteristics, all isotopes of that element have the same chemical characteristics as an atom of that element.
