Question

a scientist conducts a procedure that causes nitrogen atoms to gain neutrons. the resulting atoms will be: multiple choice ions of nitrogen. isotopes of nitrogen. negatively charged. new elements with higher atomic numbers. positively charged

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Since only neutrons are added to nitrogen atoms, they become isotopes of nitrogen. Ions are formed by gaining or losing electrons, not neutrons. Neutrons are neutral, so adding them doesn't change the charge. Changing the number of protons is required to form a new - element, not just neutrons.

Answer:

B. isotopes of nitrogen
