Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.66AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The neutral atoms of two different elements can have same number of neutrons. This statement has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Neutrons:
Atoms of all elements except for most atoms of hydrogen have neutrons in their nucleus. Unlike protons and electrons, which are electrically charged, neutrons have no charge they are electrically neutral.
