Question

Explain the term isotopes with two examples.

Answer 1

Isotopes are atoms of same element having same atomic number but different mass numbers.

i.e because of different number of neutrons.

Example 1 : isotopes of Hydrogen

• 
  `\mathrm{{_1 {}H }^(1) } - protium`
• 
  `\mathrm{_1H }^(2) - deuterium`
• 
  `\mathrm{_1H }^(3) - tritium`

Example 2 : isotopes of Carbon

• 
  `\mathrm{_(6) C {}^(12) }`
• 
  `\mathrm{_(6) C {}^(13) }`
• 
  `\mathrm{_(6) C {}^(14) }`

I hope it helped...

Answer 2

hi <3

isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, and thus a different mass number.

chlorine has isotopes and so does hydrogen

hope this helps :)
