Which of the following is correct about isotopes of carbon?
A) They are all radioactive.
B) They contain the same number of neutrons but a different number of protons.
C) They contain the same number of electrons but are chemically different because the number of
neutrons are different.
D) They are chemically identical because they have the same number of electrons.
D) They are chemically identical because they have the same number of electrons.
Isotopes- chemically identical, different # neutrons, same # electrons
