It is possible only because of different number of neutrons.


How are isotopes different than naturally occurring elements?

Isotopes of an element have different masses because their nuclei have different numbers of neutrons.


What do elements of isotopes have differently?

Because of the difference in mass number. Isotopes must have different numbers of neutrons.


Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?

Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
