Interpretation:
Arsenic is monotopic, meaning of this statement is to be explained and the three other monotopic elements are to be written.
Concept Introduction:
For a given element, the number of protons and electrons is always same. The number of neutrons for different atoms of a given element may or may not be same. When the number of neutrons for different atoms of a given element is different, then that element is known as monotopic.
A nuclide is an atomic species characterized by the specific constitution of its nucleus, i.e., by its number of protons or
