Question 6 (1.5 points) Can two atoms with the same mass ever be isotopes of each other? [Select ALL] Yes. Two atoms can have the same mass number and still be isotopes as long as they are different elements. For example, if a sodium atom has 3 protons with 4 neutrons and potassium atom has 3 protons with 7 neutrons, they would be isotopes. No. Because if the two atoms have the same mass (and same protons) they would be identical atoms, not isotopes. No. Because if the two atoms have the same mass (and different protons) they would be atoms of different elements, not isotopes. No. Because whether or not atoms are isotopes of each other depends only on the number of neutrons. Yes. Two different elements with the same mass number can be isotopes of each other because the number of protons and neutrons would be different. Yes. Even though the number of protons and neutrons is different, if their sum is the same, it represents the same mass.
