Isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Isotopes of the same element will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

This means that isotopes are variants of the same element that have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers.
