Answer

Brief Explanations:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. For the first pair, $^{12}{6}C$ and $^{13}{6}C$ are isotopes as they are both carbon with different mass - numbers. For the second pair, carbon - 12 and $^{12}{6}C$ are the same atom. For the third pair, argon - 40 and argon - 41 are isotopes as they are both argon with different neutron counts. For the fourth pair, $^{11}{5}B$ and boron - 10 are isotopes. For the fifth pair, an atom with 13 protons is aluminum and an atom with 14 protons is silicon, so they are different elements.

Answer:

  1. Isotopes
  2. Same Atom, Not Isotopes of Each Other
  3. Isotopes
  4. Isotopes
  5. Different Element
