Question
Chapter 4, Problem 8KT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The key term corresponding to the definition “atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons” is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
An atom is the smallest particle known. It consists of three subatomic particles. These subatomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral subatomic particles.
