Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotopes correspond to atoms with the same atomic number (Z) but different mass numbers (A), that is, they differ in the number of neutrons. Ex Carbon 14 and Carbon 12, Hydrogen and Deuterium.

Isotopes can be determined using the mass spectrometry technique, measuring the relative abundance of each ion (gives us the m / z, ratio between mass and charge).
