a) true
b) false
question 3 (5 points)

Explanation:

• Question 1: Isotopes are elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. So the statement "Isotopes are elements with the same amount of neutrons" is false.
• Question 2: As of 2023, there are many nuclear reactors in the United States (more than 10). So the statement "Nuclear reactors are rare ($\lt10$) in the United States" is false.
• Question 3: Nuclear power does not produce carbon - dioxide during electricity generation (compared to fossil - fuel - based power plants), so it can be considered “clean” in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
