What are isotones? Give example.

HARD
IMPORTANT

Assertion : C and Si both have same lattice structure, having 4 bonding electrons in each. However, C is insulator where as Si is intrinsic semiconductor.
Reason : The four bonding electrons in the case of C lie in the second orbit, whereas in the case of Si they lie in the third.
