Question
The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in particles A to E are given below :
| Particle | Protons | Neutrons | Electrons |
| A | 17 | 18 | 17 |
| B | 3 | 4 | 2 |
| C | 18 | 22 | 18 |
| D | 17 | 20 | 17 |
| E | 9 | 10 | 10 |
Giving reasons, find a pair of isotopes from the above particles.
Solution
Here, A and D are isotopes as they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
