GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclei with the same number of neutrons but a different atomic number are called isotopes. Nuclei with the same mass number are called isotones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Atoms of the same element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons, are known as isotopes. Isotopes of any given element all contain the same number of protons, so they have the same atomic number (for example, the atomic number of helium is always 2).

Detailed explanation-4: -so in that case, two atoms with same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are actually atoms of the same element. they are called"isomers” of one another. Example, Carbon l2 and Carbon l4. Both have 6 protons, but C-12 has 6 neutrons and C-14 has 8 neutrons.
