Isotopes of the same element have the same number of and a different number of

a.) neutrons, protons
b.) electrons, protons
c.) protons, neutrons
d.) protons, electrons

C.) Protons and neutrons. Isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass number.

Because electrons have negligible mass, to account for the mass of the isotope, there must be 16 neutrons, 16 neutrally charged, massive, fundamental particles present in the sulfur nucleus. and thus finally, if we have the 32s2− ion, there are 18 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
