∙ 9y agoIsotopes are created by variations in the number of neutrons in an atom. They all have the exact same number of protons, but some will have more neutrons and some will have less. It is these variations that are considered the isotopes. Their function is to exist as a part of the element, giving it its own unique characteristics.

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.
