The three nuclides, U-233, U-235, and U-238, are isotopes of uranium because they have the same number of protons per atom and A
) the same number of neutrons per atom B) a different number of electrons per atom C) a different number of neutrons per atom D) the same number of electrons per atom
The correct answer is - C) a different number of neutrons per atom.
Explanation:
Isotopes of an element are the same element and same atomic number but with different atomic mass and physical properties. The difference in their atomic mass occurs due to isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons per atom.
The number of protons and the numbers of electrons are the same in the isotopes but only change occurs in the numbers of the neutrons. In isotopes of uranium U-233, U-235, and U-238 have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons per atom.
When air in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place. The ocean also absorbs and stores energy from the sun, and when precipitation falls, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere.
