Which of the following is correct?
Options
- A₁ H ^1 and ₂ He ^3 are isotopes
- B₆ C ¹⁴ and ₇ N ¹⁴ are isotopes
- C₁₉ K ¹⁹ and ₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰ are isotopes
- D₉ F ¹⁹ and ₁₁ Na ²⁴ are isotopes
Correct answer
C. ₁₉ K ¹⁹ and ₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰ are isotopes
Step-by-step solution
Isotones are species which have equal number of neutrons. neutrons in ₁₉ ~K ³⁹=39-19=20 neutrons in ₂₀ Ca ⁴⁰=40-20=20 .
