All the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

No they don't have. Isotopes of an element differ in mass from from each other and this is due to the different no. of electrons in their nucleus.


How are isotopes of one element similar to each other?

An isotope of an element is same as the element in that it has the same number of protons. An isotope of an element is different from the element in that it has a different number of neutrons.


Are carbon and nitrogen isotopes of each other?

No! Nuclides with different element names are never isotopes of each other, because their nuclei contain different numbers of protons and therefore are not chemically alike.


How do two isotopes of an element differ from each other?

They have the same formulas but different organic structures.


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.


If an element has 3 isotopes with known masses what other information is needed to find the average atomic mass of the element?

You would also need to know the abundance of each of the isotopes, i.e., how much percent of each you will typically encounter.
