Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about isotopes?
  • Step 1: Understand that an atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Step 2: Know that the number of protons in an atom determines what element it is.
  • Step 3: Realize that isotopes are different forms of the same element.
  • Step 4: Remember that isotopes have the same number of protons (which defines the element) but can have different numbers of neutrons.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because they have different numbers of neutrons, isotopes have different atomic masses.
