Atoms of same element having different mass numbers are called__________
-
- Isobars
- Isotopes
- Isotones
- Isomers
- Isobars
Correct Option: B
Atoms that have the same atomic number but different atomic masses are called isotopes. The difference in mass arises due to the atoms containing a different number of neutrons for the same number of protons. For example, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are three isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12, 13 and 14 respectively.
