You can tell isotopes apart by the difference in there atomic mass numbers. Take for example the isotope Carbon-12. Carbon is the element name and 12 is the Atomic Mass of the element. The atomic mass number can (most?) always be changed, but the the atomic number ( the number above the Element symbol on the Periodic Table) cannot. Remember: The number of protons add by the number of neutrons equals the Atomic Mass number. The proton number = the atomic number, as of the number of electrons= the atomic number; hence the atomic number= number of proton = number of electron.
What else can I help you with?
How do scientist tell the different between two isotopes of the same element?
scientists Can tell the difference between two isotopes of the same element because, isotopes of the same elements always have the same number of protons.
What does the decimal tell you in an atomic mass?
that there are stable isotopes of that element
How do scientistes determine how meteorites been have in space?
By looking at radioactive isotopes. These isotopes decay at precisely known rates, so looking at ratios involving such isotopes can tell when an asteroid or other object formed.
How do scientist determine How long have meteorites been in space?

Give two examples of how tracers are used .tell why radioactive isotopes work as tracers?
Alloys
How can you tell a meteorite from any other rock?
A meteorite often has a mixture of isotopes that is quite different from that found on Earth.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as?
they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
Why do two isotopes of an element have same atomic numbers but different mass numbers?
why do you think i looked on this thing to find the answer.YOU TELL ME!
