Atomic Masses are different
So Boiling point, freezing points. inter-molecular forces, etc may be different as they depend on atomic masses

Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?
Isotopes of one particular element (atom) only differ in mass and stability (decay), not in chemical properties.
Two atoms are isotopes if they contain?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.
What are element that differ in the number of neutrons known as?
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as isotopes.
If isomers of an alkali have the same molecular formula how do they differ?
Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
How are isotopes alike?
Isotopes are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
What is the relationship between atoms ad isotopes?
A natural chemical element may be monoisotopic or has isotopes. Isotopes are atoms but they differ from other isotopes by the number of neutrons. This involve a different atomic mass and different physical properties or sometimes (for light isotopes) different chemical properties. Also, all chemical elements have radioactive, artificial isotopes.
Do isotopes with the same elements have the same physical properties?
The physical properties are of course different. The chemical properties are considered identical but this is not a general rule; for example hydrogen isotopes (1H and 2H) have some different chemical and biochemical properties.
Do isotopes differ from one another in their chemical properties?
Yes
How are 2 isotopes of an element similar?
Their atoms have the same number of protons and electrons and therefore have the same chemical properties. However, the atoms do differ in the number of neutrons and so their physical properties are slightly different.
5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?
Isotopes of one particular element (atom) only differ in mass and stability (decay), not in chemical properties.
Why do all isotopes of an element have the same cheimcal properties?
The chemical properties of an element depend on its electron configuration, which is in turn determined by the number of protons. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, which, being neutral, have not influence on chemical properties.
Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?
Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.
How are all of the isotopes of an element similar?
by having the same number of protons and electrons and so still have the same chemical properties and physical properties with the exception of being somewhat denser.All of the isotopes of an element contain the same number of protons. They differ only in the number of neutrons.The number of electrons is an ionization state issue, and does not affect isotopic identity.
Do isotopes differ by number of electrons?
Isotopes differ by the number of protons.
What two ways do isotopes differ?
- different atomic mass - different number of neutrons - different nuclear properties - etc.
