Question

    What term is used for atoms that have the same number of

    protons but different numbers of neutrons?
    A Isobars Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Isotopes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Isotones Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Isomers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Isotopes are atoms of the same element (having the same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they possess. This variance in neutron number can affect the atomic mass and stability but does not alter the chemical properties of the element.
