Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species X and Y are given as under
|
X
|
Y
|
|
| Protons | \(6\) | \(6\) |
| Neutrons | \(6\) | \(8\) |
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 atomic number (\(6\)) but different neutrons, so they are of same element.
