Isotopes of an element are defined has that has same atomic number but different mass number mean they have different number of neutrons
so the statement that best describe a similarity is
<span> same atomic number; different mass number
</span>so correct option is C
hope it helps
Thank you for the information. But what is the question?
Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite. The ratio of clay to other minerals is variable.
so the statement is FALSE
