Atoms of the same element, but of different masses are called__________________?
Correct answer: C. Isotopes
- A. Isobars
- B. Isotones
- C. Isotopes
- D. None of these
Explanation
Isotopes have the same atomic number, meaning the same element, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers. Isobars instead have the same mass number, while isotones have the same neutron number.
