Answer:

Fluorine

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

The isotope of fluorine has:

Proton = 9

Neutron = 10

The atomic number is the proton number of the atom.

Therefore, the atomic number = 9

Mass number = proton + Neutron

Mass number = 9 + 10

Mass number = 19

Now comparing the above with the fluorine atom in the periodic table. We'll discover that the isotope is actually fluorine atom.

Therefore, the name of the isotope is fluorine
