Answer:
Isotones are atoms that have the same neutron number but different proton number. For example, 3616S, 3717Cl, 3818Ar, 3919K, and 4020Ca are all isotones of 20 since they all contain 20 neutrons.
Nuclear energy and Radioactivity relies on the unstable isotopes of heavy elements to tap the explosive power of the nucleus. The discovery of one fundamental particle unlocked such amazing doors for humanity!

Answer:
Isotone, any of two or more species of atoms or nuclei that have the same number of neutrons. Thus, chlorine-37 and potassium-39 are isotones, because the nucleus of this species of chlorine consists of 17 protons and 20 neutrons, whereas the nucleus of this species of potassium contains 19 protons and 20 neutrons.
