Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species X and Y are given below help KIshore to answer the following:
|
X
|
Y
|
|
| Protons | \(6\) | \(7\) |
| Neutrons | \(8\) | \(8\) |
Give the mass number of X and Y and state the relation between the two species?
Mass number \(=\) Number of protons \(+\) Number of
Mass number of X \(=\)
Mass number of Y \(=\)
Both X and Y have the same number of neutrons (\(8\)) but different numbers of protons, so they are of different elements.
