उत्तर
No, Only when the two nuclei have the same atomic number then they are known as isotopes. Otherwise, they may be isobars also. Isobars have the same mass numbers.

Deuteron is a bound state of a neutron and a proton with a binding energy B = 2.2 MeV. A γ-ray of energy E is aimed at a deuteron nucleus to try to break it into a (neutron + proton) such that the n and p move in the direction of the incident γ-ray. If E = B, show that this cannot happen. Hence calculate how much bigger than B must E be for such a process to happen.
