The correct option regarding an isotope is

?

Name the following :

(a) The element which does not contain any neutron m its nucleus.

(b) An element having valency 'zero'.

(c) Metal with valency 2.

(d) Two atoms having the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.

(e) The shell closest to the nucleus of an atom.

Isotopes are the atoms of the same element; they have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. Isotopes have a different number of neutrons in their nucleus. If an element exists in two isotopes having atomic masses 'a' and 'b' in the ratio m: n, then average atomic mass will

\frac{m \times a + n \times b}{m + n}

Different isotopes of the same element have the same position in the periodic table. The elements which have single isotope are called monoisotopic elements. Greater is the percentage composition of an isotope, more will be its abundance in nature.
