Carbon-11 is a radioactive isotope of carbon with a half-life of about 20 minutes, commonly used in PET imaging. Boron-11 is a stable isotope of boron commonly used in nuclear reactions, such as in boron neutron capture therapy for cancer treatment.

Carbon-11 and boron-11 differ in their atomic number and chemical properties. Carbon-11 has 6 protons and 5 neutrons, while boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons. This leads to differences in their stability and reactivity. Additionally, carbon-11 is commonly used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans, while boron-11 is used in nuclear reactions and semiconductor applications.

Carbon has atomic number 6; and boron, 5. So although both isotopes of different elements have the same mass number, carbon-11 will have 5 neutrons while boron-11 have 6 neutrons. However their relative isotopic mass is the same.
