A forensic scientist is comparing two samples of evidence to see if they contain the same elements. Here are his findings: - Sample A contains atoms which all have a mass number of 40 and a atomic number of 20. -Sample B contains atoms which all have a mass number of 40 and an atomic number of 19. Which conclusion is valid?

One sample contains atoms of Calcium and the other sample contains atoms of Potassium.
