    The triad of the nuclei that is isotonic, is

    A) \[_{6}{{C}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{7}}{{N}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{9}}{{N}^{19}}\]

    B) \[_{6}{{C}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{7}}{{N}^{15}},\,{{\,}_{9}}{{F}^{17}}\]

    C) \[_{6}{{C}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{7}}{{N}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{9}}{{F}^{17}}\]

    D)        \[_{6}{{C}^{12}},\,{{\,}_{7}}{{N}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{9}}{{F}^{19}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Isotonic species have the same the number of neutrons. No. of neutrons in                 \[_{6}{{C}^{14}}=14-6=8\]                 \[_{7}{{N}^{14}}=14-7=7\]                 \[_{9}{{N}^{19}}=19-9=10\]                 \[_{7}{{N}^{15}}=15-7=8\]                 \[_{9}{{F}^{17}}=15-7=8\]                 \[_{6}{{C}^{12}}=12-6=6\] Hence,\[_{6}{{C}^{14}},\,{{\,}_{7}}{{N}^{15}},\,{{\,}_{9}}{{F}^{17}}\]are isotonic.
