The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in particles A to E are given below :

Particle Protons Neutrons Electrons

A 17 18 17

B 3 4 2

C 18 22 18

D 17 20 17

E 9 10 10

Giving reasons, find a pair of isotopes from the above particles.


A and D are isotopes as they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
