Atomic Structure - Result Question 71

47. An isotone of ${ } _{32}^{76} Ge$ is

(a) ${ } _{32}^{77} Ge$

(c) ${ } _{34}^{77} Se$

(b) ${ } _{33}^{77} As$

(d) ${ } _{34}^{78} Se$

$(1984,1 M)$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 47. (b, d)

Solution:

  1. Isotones have same number of neutrons. ${ } _{32} Ge^{76},{ } _{33} As^{77}$ and ${ } _{34} Se^{78}$ have same number $(44)$ of neutrons, hence they are isotones.
