The number of neutrons is different; the differences between physical properties exists but are extremely small.

Does isotopes affect the physical properties of the element?

Isotopes contribute to the atomic weight of a chemical element.


Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?

Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.


What is different about the isotopes of a particular element?

The number of neutrons in the atoms. This affect some physical properties.


Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?

Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.


Is isotopes of same element have same properties?

The differences in chemical properties are not significant (excepting protium and deuterium); the physical properties are different.


What is true about a compound physical properties compare to those of the element it is made of?

The physical properties of a compound may be entirely different from the physical properties of the elements from which the compound is made.


Isotopes of the same element have differnt?

Different numbers of neutrons and hence different physical properties.


What is true about all the isotopes of an element?

All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons. When they are not ionic, they have the same number of electrons. And, for all practical purposes, they behave identically as chemicals. share most of the same physical properties, and chemical properties. They have different number of neutrons.


How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?

The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.


What is the relationship between atoms ad isotopes?

A natural chemical element may be monoisotopic or has isotopes. Isotopes are atoms but they differ from other isotopes by the number of neutrons. This involve a different atomic mass and different physical properties or sometimes (for light isotopes) different chemical properties. Also, all chemical elements have radioactive, artificial isotopes.


Physical properties of an element?

There are many physical properties; density, thermal and electrical conductivity, colour, presence of allomorphs (differing forms, such as in carbon), isotopes, radioactivity, malleability or ductility, hardness. And many more.


Do isotopes with the same elements have the same physical properties?

The physical properties are of course different. The chemical properties are considered identical but this is not a general rule; for example hydrogen isotopes (1H and 2H) have some different chemical and biochemical properties.
