검증된 단계별 안내1
Recall the definition of isotopes: isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Understand that the number of protons defines the element and its atomic number, so isotopes must have the same atomic number.
Recognize that because isotopes have the same number of protons, they have the same chemical symbol representing the element.
Note that the difference in the number of neutrons leads to different mass numbers for isotopes.
Conclude that the correct statement is: isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
