Question
Two nuclei have different mass numbers A1 and A2. Are these nuclei necessarily the isotopes of the same element? Explain.
Solution
No, Only when the two nuclei have the same atomic number then they are known as isotopes. Otherwise, they may be isobars also. Isobars have the same mass numbers.
