Question

What are Isotopes? explain

Answer 1

Hey there!

★ ISOTOPES:-
Isotopes are the atoms of the element having same Atomic number (Z) but different Atomic mass (A). This means isotopes of an element have same number of Protons but different number of Neutron in their nuclei.

For Eg. Carbon has two Isotopes-

1) C-12 - Atomic no. (Z) = 6 and Mass no. (A) = 12
and thus has 6 Neutrons

2) C-14 - Atomic no. (Z) = 6 and Mass no. (A) = 14
and thus has 8 Neutrons.

Hope it helped
