Atoms having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called :

a

Cations

b

Isotopes

c

Anions

d

Higgs-boson

Answer : Option B
Explanation :

Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. For example, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are three isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12, 13 and 14 respectively. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that every carbon atom has 6 protons, so that the neutron numbers of these isotopes are 6, 7 and 8 respectively
