Question
Atom $A$ has a mass number $209$ and atomic number $82$. Atom $B$ has a mass number $209$ and atomic number $83$.
  1. How many protons atom $A$ has?
  2. How many protons atom $B$ has?
  3. Are atoms $A$ and $B$ isotopes of the same element?

Answer

$\text{Atom A}-{^{209}\text{A}}_{82}$ $\text{Atom B}-{^{209}\text{A}}_{83}$
  1. $A$ has $82$ protons as the atomic number is $82$.
  2. $B$ has $83$ protons as the atomic number is $83$.
  3. No, $A$ and B are not isotopes of each other because their atomic numbers are not same.
