Information is given about four different atomsatom neutrons protonsW 22 18X 18 20Y 22 16Z 20 18Which two atoms are isotopes?A. W and YB. W and ZC. X and ZD. X and Y
Solution
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Let's look at the given information:
- Atom W has 22 neutrons and 18 protons
- Atom X has 18 neutrons and 20 protons
- Atom Y has 22 neutrons and 16 protons
- Atom Z has 20 neutrons and 18 protons
From this, we can see that atoms W and Z both have 18 protons, but different numbers of neutrons (22 and 20, respectively). Therefore, atoms W and Z are isotopes.
So, the correct answer is B. W and Z.
