alleryNuclides with the same mass number A are called:
AIsobars
BIsotopes
CIsotones
DIsomers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Isobars
1. Mass number counts protons and neutrons together.
2. Different elements can share the same total.
3. All nuclides with same mass number A are called isobars.
4. So the answer is isobars.
