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 isotopes of the same element have same atomic number. Even the chemical properties of the isotopes are same.

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.
