Question

explain esotopes with example ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the variants of chemical elements that possess the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons. ... For example, carbon-14, carbon-13, and carbon-12 are all isotopes of carbon.

Answer 2

Correct Question :

Explain Isotopes, with example.

Answer :

The atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different mass number is known as isotopes.

Explanation :

Let's take an example,

$\underline{\bf{Example:-}} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \sf{{}_{17}^{35}}Cl \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: and \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \sf{{}_{17}^{37}}Cl$

• Having same element.
• Same atomic number.
• Different mass number.

So, it's an example of isotopes.

More Information :

• The number of unit positive charge carried by the nucleus of an atom is called atomic number.

• The sum of the neutrons and protons is known as mass number.

• The atoms of different elements having different atomic number but same mass number is called isobars.

• The atoms of different elements having same number of neutrons is called isotones.
