Answer

(a)

AtomElectron (e)Proton (p)Neutron (n = mass number - p)
20982A8282209 - 82 = 127
20983B8383209 - 83 = 126
21182C8282211 - 82 = 129

(b) A and C have different number of nucleon, because the number of protons is same in both but number of neutrons are different.

(c) Isotopes

(d) Isotopes are atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
