Answer :
a.
Here number of protons = the number of electrons = 6
Since, atomic number of an atom = the number of protons
Hence the atomic number of the atom = 6
We know that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
∴ Mass number = 6 + 6 =12
Electronic configuration of the atom : -
K shell - 2 electrons
L shell – 4 electrons
Here number of protons = the number of electrons = 7
Since, atomic number of an atom = the number of protons
Hence the atomic number of the atom = 7
We know that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
∴ Mass number = 7 + 8 =15
Electronic configuration of the atom : -
K shell - 2 electrons
L shell – 5 electrons
Here number of protons = the number of electrons = 6
Since, atomic number of an atom = the number of protons
Hence the atomic number of the atom = 6
We know that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
∴ Mass number = 6 + 8 =14
Electronic configuration of the atom : -
K shell - 2 electrons
L shell – 4 electrons

Since, atomic number of an atom = the number of protons
Hence the atomic number of the atom = 8
We know that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
∴ Mass number = 8 + 8 =16
Electronic configuration of the atom: -
K shell - 2 electrons
L shell – 6 electrons
b). Isotopes – These are the chemical species having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
In the above given atoms A and C have the same atomic number and differ only in the matter of number of neutrons present in their respective nucleus.
Hence, atom A and C are isotopes.
