Not directly. Isotopes are different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus. But as different isotopes have the same chemical properties, they all can form the same compounds which function the same chemically.

Do isotopes of an elements form similar compounds with atoms of other elements?
Absolutely yes, all isotopes of an element are chemically identical in the compounds they form as the chemistry is determined by the configuration of the electrons in the outer shell, which is completely unaffected by the number of neutrons inside the nucleus.What is affected in chemistry by different isotopes is reaction rates: compounds containing heavier isotopes react slower than compounds containing lighter isotopes. The most extreme case of this is heavy water, which reacts so slowly compared to ordinary water that it inhibits many reactions necessary for life!
How is isotopes related to number of electrons?
An isotope is not really related to the number of electrons, but rather it is determined by the number of neutrons.
Why do all isotopes of an element have the sames chemical properties?
All isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties due to the following reasons: * they all have the same electrons in the OUTERMOST shell. * they all have the same electronic configuration.
Is uranium tetrafluoride - UF4 - radioactive?
All uranium compounds are radioactive to some degree.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the isotopes number element of calcium chloride?
Isotopes of elements exist. There are no isotopes for compounds and calcium chloride is a compound.

How atomic number related isotope?
Atomic number is not related to isotopes.
If Law of constant composition true for all types of compounds?
No,Law of constant composition is valid only for compounds made from the specified isotopes of the element.
Which items are related to compounds?
New physical properties are some of the items related to compounds.
How are mixtures and compounds related?
A mixture is a combination of compounds.
How is the atomic mass for chlorine related to isotopes for that atom?
The average atomic mass is weighted by the most common isotopes and their relative abundance.
How is isotopes related to number of electrons?
An isotope is not really related to the number of electrons, but rather it is determined by the number of neutrons.
What are compounds that contain the element gold?
Compounds of Gold are often called Auric compounds and for a list see the related link.
What are isotopes and isomers?
See the related questions below for each individual definition.
How does the total number of elements compare to the total number of compounds?
There are a bit more than 100 elements however there are far, far more than 100 millions compounds, each day more compounds are produced, there are a lot of compounds with unknown structure, not having official names. So the ratio is much bigger than 1 to a million
What are fats oils and related compounds make up a group of organic compounds known as?
Hydrocarbons.
