If `A,Z` and `N` denote the mass number, the atomic number, and the neutron number for a given nucleus, we can say that.

A

`N=Z+A`

B

isobars have the same A but different ` Z` and `N.

C

isotopes have the same `Z` but different `N` and `A`.

D

isotopes have the same `N` but different `A` and `Z`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b,c,d

Statement (a) is incorrect, In fact,
`A=Z+N`
Statements (b),(c ) and (d) are correct, they are the definitions of isobars, isotopes and isotones.
