Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Isotopes are the species that have same atomic number.

For example, ^{12}_{6}C and ^{13}_{6}C are isotopes. As both of them has 6 protons and there are 6 neutrons in ^{12}_{6}C. There are 7 neutrons in ^{13}_{6}C.

It is known that atomic number is the total number of present in an atom. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

               Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

Therefore, we can conclude that when two elements are isotopes then the isotopes of a particular element differ as they have less or more neutrons.

They have less or more neutrons. Isotopes have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

A) Since both are carbons with the only difference in the number of neutrons,

They are called Isotopes

B) Carbon - 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while Carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons,

Therefore Carbon-12 and Carbon-13 have the same number of protons

C) Carbon - 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while Carbon-13 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons,

Therefore Carbon-12 and Carbon-13 has different numbers of neutrons

D) Sorry i don't know any uses of Carbon-12 and Carbon-13, you might have to research to get it.

E or F) Sodium 23 has 12 neutrons and 11 electrons, because its mass number 23, atomic number is 11 and since protons and electrons count is same, the number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 23 - 11 = 12 neutrons

Answer:

1st column group 1 - group2

second column Halogen group - zero group ( inert gases )

third column - very active metals , tend to lose one electron -less reactive than group one , tend to  lose 2 electrons - very active nonmetals, tend to gain one electron - Nobel gases , do not gain or lose electrons
