Q17. SAME PLACE 4

Two atoms may have the same number of protons and, thus be of the same element, yet differ in their
number of neutrons. Such atoms are called as isotopes, atoms of the same element having different masses.
In other words isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. The
name comes from the Greek phrase isotopes,meaning “same place” because they have the same atomic
number, isotopes of the same element occupy the same position on the periodic table. Isotopes are formally
described as ZAE, where E is the element abbreviation, A is the atomic mass
(Sum of protons Z and neutrons N) and Z stands for the atomic number equivalent to that of protons.

1. For the stable Silver isotope designated as for instance, Ag is the element symbol; 47 is its atomic number
and 93 is the mass number. From this piece of information discern out the number of neutrons of this
particular stable isotope.
2.Isotopes can also be indicated by simple nomenclature, for instance, Carbon -12 or Carbon- 3.2. What does
the number 12, 13 represent here?
a.) atomic number
b.) atomic mass
c.) number of neutrons
d.) sum of protons and electrons
3. Which of the following does not match the characteristics of an isotopes?
a.) isotopes of some elements are radioactive
b.) isotopes are the atoms of different elements.
c.) isotopes differ in number of neutrons
d.) isotopes have similar chemical properties.
4. Isotopes have similar chemical properties but different physical properties.
(Agree/ disagree). Justify.
