Question

Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species x and y are given as under x y protons =6 6 neutrons = 6 8 give the mass number of x and y. What is the relation between the two species?

Answer 1

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

Mass number of X = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

= 6 + 6

= 12

Mass number of Y = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

= 6 + 8

= 14

These two atomic species X and Y have the same atomic number, but different mass numbers. Hence, they are isotopes.
