Answer:
for question a element A and B are isobars
for question b element C and D have the same atomic numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
- element A and B are isobars because they have the same mass numbers but different atomic numbers. The different atomic numbers is as a result of the difference in proton number of each elements A and B. (A and B are two different elements).
- element C and D are isotopes of the same element because they have the same atomic numbers (same number of protons) but differ in number of neutrons resulting in the different number of mass numbers. (C and D are the same elements)
