An isotope of an element varies only in the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Neutrons are neutral particles, with can also be described as a "zero charge." The quantities of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles) does not change in an isotope. Essentially, some "dead weight" has been lost, and since it is the atomic charges that possess the attractive and repulsive force between atoms in a molecule as well as dictate how the overall molecule interacts with other molecules, isotopes act and react the same with other chemicals. These are the chemical properties of the element and it's isotopes, while the physical properties are observable traits the atoms possess. These physical traits can be altered because of the change in mass in an isotope from the original element. With less mass there is less inertia, gravity and force required to move the isotope, this tends to alter properties such as Atomic Mass, and density (and the change in density dictates other physical properties which become altered as well such as the boiling point and melting point.)
ISOTOPES= SAME element with different number of ""NEUTRONS""
*chemical properties ONLY depend on the outer arrangement of electrons and the way they are shared with other atoms
---->so the change in # of neutrons wouldn't affect its chemical properties
*physical properties ( boiling and melting points, density...) would definitely be affected by any change in your element.
Yes, that is correct.
Yes, that is correct.
Yes, that is correct.
Yes, that is correct.
The number of neutrons is different, so the physical properties (especially nuclear properties) are different. For light isotopes also some chemical properties are different.
Yes, that is correct.
Chemical changes are considered unseen because they occur at the atomic level, changing the actual structure of the thing. This is in comparison to a physical change, which is visible.
When elements combine to form compounds than the properties of elements are not pre demoninantly the same in them whether chemical or physical while in the form of mixture elements retain their properties.
No, being good energy conductors is a physical property of some metals, not a chemical property. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances and undergoes chemical reactions, while physical properties describe the characteristics and behavior of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
The difference is that chemical equilibrium is the equilibrium of products and reactants in a reaction while physical equilibrium is the equilibrium of the physical states of the same substance.
Different isotopes of the same element are usually considered not to be chemically different. The atoms of different isotopes of the same element differ only in mass, not in their electronic structure, and it's the electronic structure of an atom that determines its chemical properties. A partial exception: hydrogen and its isotopes deuterium and tritium. Because the isotopes of hydrogen weigh twice and three times as much respectively, but have the same electronic structure, while they take part in the same chemical reactions, the reaction rates differ.
No, there are differences in chemical properties of different isotopes of the same element. For instance, certain isotopes will be radioactive while other isotopes will be stable and nonradioactive. Also, the different isotopes of hydrogen are significantly different depending on the number of neutrons present.
here is one example physical properties conduct eletricty while chemical properites do not. I hope tis helped! :)
a physical properties are observable, while a chemical property is known when mixed with chemicals
Physical and chemical properties of matter are useful because they can help you identify that substance. For example paper burns very easily and aluminum doesn't, this is how they can be described individually.
Chemical changes are considered unseen because they occur at the atomic level, changing the actual structure of the thing. This is in comparison to a physical change, which is visible.
Physical properties are it's rest quantitative properties, while the chemical properties are its reactions to things like temperature and other substances. I hope somebody gives you a more comprehensive answer. :)

physicals change is like it changes shapes and other things while chemical change can depend on the color change whether it bubbles or smokes etc.
Elements can exist in the form of different isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but have different numbers of neutrons. The first gives them the same atomic number and chemical properties while the second gives them different atomic weights.
Yes, as it's still glass. There is no chemical/molecular change.
yes, breaking glass changes the physical properties of the piece, while a chemical change would be removing one of the elements that make up the glass
