    The nuclei of which one of the following pairs of nuclei are isotones?     [AIPMT (S) 2005]

    A)  \[_{34}S{{e}^{74}},{{\,}_{31}}G{{a}^{71}}\]        

    B)  \[_{42}M{{o}^{92}}\,,{{\,}_{40}}Z{{r}^{92}}\]

    C)  \[_{38}S{{r}^{84}},{{\,}_{38}}S{{r}^{86}}\]          

    D)  \[_{20}C{{a}^{40}},\,{{\,}_{16}}{{S}^{32}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The nuclei which have same number of neutrons but different atomic number and mass number are known as isotones. In choice  nuclei of \[_{34}S{{e}^{74}}\] and \[_{31}G{{a}^{71}}\,\] are isotones as
    \[A-Z=74-34=71-31=40\]
