As the given number of neutrons in the nucleus of a given atom of an element increases, the atomic number of that element

a. decreases
b. increases
c. remains the same

Respuesta :

c. remains the same
The atomic number will only increase if there is an increase in protons.
The average atomic mass (or amu) will increase if the number of neutrons increase.
 If an element's mass is greater or less than the average atomic mass, it is known as an isotope.
