Answer:

D. number of neutrons

Explanation:

Isotopes of the same element must have the same number of neutrons. Neutrons of an atom are the uncharged particles within the nucleus.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but having different mass number due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

Therefore, isotopes differs based on the number of neutrons they contain.

Answer:

D. number of neutrons

Explanation:

Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, but differ in the number of neutrons. The nucleon number is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. ... The atomic mass number A is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons.
