Hello!

These atoms are isotopes

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (which determine the atomic number) and a different number of neutrons. These two atoms have the same number of protons (13), but a different number of neutrons, so they are isotopes.

According to their number of protons, these are Aluminum isotopes: ²⁷Al (stable), and ²⁶Al (radioactive), respectively.

Have a nice day!
