80Hg198 and 79Au197 can be termed as which of the following?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2: Isotones
Nuclides with same neutron number but different atomic number are called Isotones.
Both 80Hg198 and 79Au197 have the same number of neutrons, so they are isotones.
Number of neutrons = Mass number − Atomic number
For Hg: 198−80=118
For Au: 197−79=118
