Isotopes contribute to the atomic weight of a chemical element.

Elements on the periodic table are arranged by atomic number. This refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. Generally, atoms with higher atomic numbers will have a higher mass (due to more protons); however, the number of neutrons in the nucleus (isotopes of each element) will also affect the mass. An element with a lower atomic number but extra neutrons could have a higher atomic mass than an element with a higher atomic number. The atomic mass listed on the periodic table is an average of the naturally occurring distribution of isotopes of that element. For example, Cobalt (element #27) has an atomic mass of 58.9332 amu, whereas Nickle (element #28) actually has a lower atomic mass of 58.6934 amu.
no, not at all

No, absolutely not. The ion still has the same number of protons, which determines the element's position on the periodic table. The periodic table always stays the same.
1. How do minerals affect society?
Periodic trends affect bonding due to the arrangement of the elements on the periodic table. The periodic table only includes chemical elements.

Minerals naturally affect and are part of Earth's hydrology cycle as water circulates the surface and below. Minerals such as limestone can moderate acidity and pH levels, for example.
Plants require a proper balance of minerals for optimum growth.
Minerals give structure to bones and affect heart and muscle contraction.
minerals lower freezing point
Minerals that affect your life in a typical day include iron and calcium. Others worth mentioning are lead, magnesium and mercury.
Does the sun's position in the sky affect the length of daylight ?
There are no causes for different isotopic masses, they are a fact of nature, however - Isotopes,meaning 'same place', on the periodic table are versions of the same element having a differing number of neutrons. Neutrons do not affect the chemical properties of the element but they do affect it's mass. Perhaps the most famous isotopes are Uranium 238 which is stable and U235 which is unstable and naturally decays into Barium and Krypton in a process known as nuclear fission.
Position in different types of situations can affect the outcome.
