Identify the isotopes out of A, B, C & D: ³³A₁₇, ⁴⁰B₂₀, ³⁷C₁₇, ³⁹D₁₉
Isotopes are atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
From the given atoms:
³³A₁₇, ⁴⁰B₂₀, ³⁷C₁₇, ³⁹D₁₉
The atoms A (³³A₁₇) and C (³⁷C₁₇) have the same atomic number (17) but different mass numbers (33 and 37).
Therefore, A and C are isotopes.
