chemical properties?
the question is which of these pairs do the two species resemble each other most closely in chemical properties?
a. 1..............1.. +
.....H... and... H
....1..............1
b..14........... 14.. 3-
......N... and... N
.....7............. 7
c. ..12 ........13
........C and .. C
.......6 .......... 6
my guess is C because the electron charge is the same so any chemical reaction would react based on the electrons... but i was hoping i could get some insight to this question?

the top number is supposed to express the mass number and the subscript number is the number of protons...also the following number is the charge of the isotope

Yes, you got it right.
In 1.) there is a neutral atom and a ion (proton)
2.) again a neutral atom and this time a negative ion (nitride)
3.) these two are isotopes of the element carbon. They differ in their atomic mass (one has an extra neutron), but they both are neutral atoms with six electrons.

chemical properties depend on the electrons when they react chemically.
a and b are ions
with answer c, these are isotopes.
Isotopes have the same properties for any element, in regards to chemical reactions. (but NOT in terms of radioactivity).

you're fine. you're making the common mistake of trying to make chemistry harder than it really is
