Isotopes of an element have the same number of:

Answer: protons.

  • A neutrons
  • B protons
  • C nucleons
  • D mass number

Correct answer: B. protons

Explanation: Isotopes share the same atomic number (protons) but differ in the number of neutrons, hence different mass numbers.

NK (n=1)L (n=2)M (n=3)

Bohr's model: electrons occupy fixed circular shells (K, L, M) around the nucleus, with each shell holding up to 2n2 electrons.

Concept context

Explore how electrons are arranged inside an atom. Covers Bohr's model, quantum numbers, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, shapes of s, p, d orbitals, and electronic configuration rules.
