True, it would slow down.
Remember that the number of protons in the nucleus determines an element's identity. Chemical changes do not affect the nucleus, so chemical changes cannot change one type of atom into another. The number of protons in a nucleus does change sometimes, however. The identity of the atom, therefore, changes.

Answer : The correct answer is, (c) the number of neutrons
Explanation :
Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
For example : For Carbon - 13 isotope.
Mass number = 13
Atomic number = 6
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
Number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7
Hence, the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is the number of neutrons.
