how do you find the fractional abundance of an isotope?
many ways...
They all have the same chemical properties.
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Paper clips, some coated with plastic and some without.
Not atom, but element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons (for a neutral atom) and a different number of neutrons. The chemical properties of isotopes are generally similar, excepting the isotopes with a low atomic mass, as hydrogen. Some physical properties of the isotopes are very different: atomic mass, radio-activity, possible nuclear reactions, cross section area, etc.
The numbers of protons and electrons are identical.

All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral state).

They will have a different number of neutrons.
The number of protons is the same.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. They do have very similar chemical properties. In fact for most purposes we can consider them identical.

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.
