"Isotone" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
In chemistry, isotones are atomic nuclei that have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons. Isotones are similar to isotopes, which are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. The key difference between isotones and isotopes is the number of protons, not the number of neutrons. In other words, isotones are atoms that belong to the same element, but with varying numbers of neutrons.
