Which of the following represents isotopes of the same element?
medium Q14 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand isotopes
Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.Step 2: Analyze options
₆C¹² and ₆C¹⁴ have atomic number 6 but different mass numbers (12 and 14), so they are isotopes.Final Answer:
₆C¹² and ₆C¹⁴ → Option DQuick Check:
Isotopes = Same atomic number, different mass number ✅
Quick Trick: Isotopes differ in neutrons, not protons.
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing isotopes with isobars or different elements.
