Solution

The correct option is A True
Isotope: one of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but differing in atomic weight and mass number. The nuclei of isotopes contain identical numbers of protons, equal to the atomic number of the atom, and thus represent the same chemical element, but do not have the same number of neutrons. Thus isotopes of a given element have identical chemical properties but slightly different physical properties and very different half-lives, if they are radioactive.
