Question

An element has two isotopes - isotope X with mass 35 and isotope Y with mass 36. Which of the following statements
is true about the isotopes?

A)Isotope X will have to gain more electrons to form X than isotope Y will have to, to form Y.

B)Isotope Y will have to gain more electrons
to form Y than isotope X will have to, to form X.

C)Both isotopes, X and Y have to gain the same number of electrons to form X and Y respectively.

D)We cannot say any of the above for sure without knowing the atomic number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement C is correct

Explanation:

Both isotopes, X and Y have to gain the same number of electrons to form X and Y respectively because they have same atomic number but different mass number.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Ans will be C

Both isotopes, X and Y have to gain the same number of electrons to form X and Y respectively.
