Question 1 options:

A) More protons in the nucleus

B) Fever electrons in the orbitals

C) More electrons in the orbitals

D) Fewer neutrons in the nucleus

E) More neutrons in the nucleus

Answer 1

E) More neutrons in the nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotope -

The atoms which have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

And since , atomic number = protons number

and , mass number = proton + neutrons .

Hence ,

The atomic number will not change , but the mass number will change .

Hence , the correct option is more neutrons in the nucleus .
