### Step-by-Step Text Solution **Step 1: Definition of Isotopes** Isotopes are variants of a chemical element that have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers. This means that while they belong to the same element, their atomic masses differ. **Step 2: Example of Isotopes** A common example of isotopes can be seen in carbon. Carbon has several isotopes, two of which are: - **Carbon-12 (C-12)**: This isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, giving it a mass number of 12. ...
