Do isotopes exist independently to form an element or do all the isotopes when combined constitute an element?

The ratio of isotopes are constant throughout the universe. In any random sample of any element, there will be a consistent ratio of isotopes of that element. This is what makes radiocarbon dating of ancient organic material possible.

Which isotopes combined during the sun's nuclear reactions and the element created?
Hydrogen isotopes(12H) and the element formed is helium(24He).
Why are molar masses not a whole number?
Because chlorine (like almost every other element) exists as several isotopes. The molar mass reflects the combined weight and proportion of each of those isotopes.
What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?
An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
How does an element differ from its isotopes?
Isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.
What are facts about isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have a different number of neutrons.
How are isotopes the same?
How isotopes same as element alike?
Does isotopes only occur on heavier element?
No - the lightest element Hydrogen has three known isotopes
What Have different isotopes of the same element?
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons and mass.
Does isotopes affect the physical properties of the element?
Isotopes contribute to the atomic weight of a chemical element.
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
What element is an example of a homogenous mixture?
No element is a mixture of any chemical type, because by definition an element is a chemical substance that can not be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. However, many elements can be separated by physical means into isotopes that differ from one another in atomic number. If these are considered mixtures, then many naturally occurring elements can be considered homogeneous mixtures. The element of lowest atomic number that has more than one stable isotope making up at least 5 % of the naturally occurring atoms is lithium, and the next lowest such element is boron. The next lowest such element is magnesium, which has three isotopes all satisfying this criterion. Titanium, with atomic number 22, has five such isotopes. Zinc, element 30, has five naturally occurring isotopes, three of which constitute more than 15 % each of the atoms in naturally occurring zinc. Germanium naturally contains five isotopes, each of which constitutes at least 5 % of the atoms, and 3 of these isotopes constitute at least 20 % of all the atoms each.
How do you know the difference between isotopes and an element?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of electrons.
