Since isotopes are nearly chemically identical, the use of chemical processes to separate isotopes is impractical, but it is used to separate deuterium from normal hydrogen. The extreme mass differences of deuterium and hydrogen (being twice its mass), allows for a more noticeable chemical difference: when chemical equilibrium is established with water (H2O or HDO, with one deuterium replacing the hydrogen) with pure light hydrogen gas, there is 3 to 4 times more deuterium in the liquid compound than in the gas. Thus, this difference can be used to separate the heavier deuterium from light hydrogen.
But the use of chemical methods would only work if the mass of the isotopes are immensely different, which only occurs with lighter elements.
To separate other isotopes, the physical properties of the compounds are used since they directly relate with the slight difference in masses.
The most common example of separation by physical properties is the separation by effusion, which is commonly used to separate uranium-235 (used in weapons and power generation) and uranium-238. These mass differences result in a different effusion rate as predicted by the Kinetic Molecular Theory, thus the lighter U-235 effuses faster than U-238, and the process being repeated many times nearly pure U-235 results.
No, Compounds Cannot Be Separated by Physical methods like Magnetic Separation , Filtration etc... They Can Be Only Separated By Chemical Means
chemical compounds can be separated into their component elements by physical means like sifting or filtering
Water is a chemical compound not a chemical element.
1. Discovery of isotopes: not all atoms of the same chemical element are identical. 2. Discovery of the atomic structure: atoms are indivisible by chemical methods but they are divisible with physical methods in components.
The chemical element nihonium (Nh) has 7 isotopes.
No, compounds cannot be separated by physical methods. Because of their chemical bonds, they can only be separated by chemical methods.

Yeah, so compound just separate by chemical means. It's always been like that and that's the way that it will no doubt stay
Yes it can. Water, table salt, and sugar are all examples of compounds and can all be decomposed into simpler substances through physical means.^^ I believed that water and table salt would be a mixture, mixtures are the non-chemical means not compounds, with compounds there is a chemical change.

An element is the basic purist substance , it is composed of atoms of same kind ,not of elements hence an element can't be separated in elements , your question is wrong . A compound can be separated in component elements .
molecules
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.
The atomic number is the same for the isotopes of a chemical element.
Bye using a chilsele hamer of any other substance tht is hard enought to brake it
Water is a chemical compound not a chemical element.
Neptunium is an individual element; isotopes of neptunium are not separated.
