<u>Question in English : </u>
<span>
<em>An atom X has 8 neutrons and its atomic number equals 8. Knowing that this atom is isotopes of Y, which has mass number 18, answer: What is the number of neutrons in atom Y?</em>
</span><span><u>Answer :</u>
</span>Isotopes are defined as the atoms which have same number of
protons but different number of neutrons of same element. Since the proton
number is same, the atomic number also same. Hence the atomic number of Y is 8.
Mass number = atomic number + neutron number
18 = 8 + neutron number
Neutron number = 10
Hence, there are 10 neutrons in Y.
