Question 25

During a study of beta decay products, a physicist compares a singly-charged carbon-14 ion (614C+\text{}^{14}_{6}\text{C}^{+}614​C+) with a doubly-charged nitrogen-14 ion (714N2+\text{}^{14}_{7}\text{N}^{2+}714​N2+).

Which statement correctly describes and compares these two ions?

A

They are isotopes because they have the same nucleon (mass) number.

B

They have the same number of electrons and the same number of nucleons.

C

The carbon ion has fewer neutrons than the nitrogen ion.

D

They have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
