You find an element that has mass number 88 and 50 neutrons. You find another element with mass number 90 and 38 electrons. Are they isotopes? Show the work that led to your answer. (Both your reasoning and your final answer must be correct in order to receive any points)
Yes, they are isotopes
1st one: 88 (mass #) = 50 (neutrons) = 38 protons
2nd one: if there are 38 electrons, therefore there are
38 protons
