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. The number of protons in a nucleus determines the element’s atomic number on the Periodic Table. For example, carbon has six protons and is atomic number 6.
Detailed explanation-2: -EXPLANATION: The nuclei having the same number of neutrons but the different numbers of protons are called isotones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deuterium also known as heavy hydrogen is one of the two stable isotopes of hydrogen. The nucleus of deuterium called deutron contains one proton and neutron.
Detailed explanation-4: -Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons.
Detailed explanation-5: -A nuclide of an element, also called an isotope of an element, is an atom of that element that has a specific number of nucleons (protons and neutrons).
