Q7 of 24 Page 165

_________ have equal number of neutrons.

i) Isobars ii) Isotones


iii) Isotopes iv) Mass Numbers

isotones

These are the atoms of different elements with same number of neutrons. Example : 6C13 and 7N14


Number of neutrons is obtained by subtracting atomic number from atomic mass number.


Number of neutrons in 6C13 is (13-6) 7.


Number of neutrons in 7N14 is (14-7) 7.


● Isobars are the atoms of different elements having same mass number but different atomic numbers.


● Isotopes are the atoms of same element with same atomic number but


different mass number.


● Mass numbers is the sum of protons and neutrons.
