Particles which can be added to the nucleus of an atom without changing its chemical properties are:
Particles which can be added to the nucleus of an atom without changing its chemical properties are:
Show Hint
Isotopes have same chemical properties but different mass numbers.
Updated On: Apr 16, 2026
- neutrons
- electrons
- protons
- $α$-particle
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Chemical properties depend on atomic number (number of protons).
Step 2: Adding neutrons changes mass number but not atomic number, so chemical properties remain same.
