Concept explainers
The way by which the isotopes can be differentiate.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Though the isotopes are having same chemical properties but the isotopes are having different number of neutrons.
Explanation of Solution
Isotopes of a particular element are having same number of protons. Different
But the mass number is different for the isotopes. This is because of the number of neutrons. The neutron number for the different isotopes of a particular material is different.
Thus, though the isotopes are having same chemical properties but the isotopes are having different number of neurons.
