All of the atoms of a particular element have the same number of protons. But the number of neutrons can differ by a few. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are the different "isotopes" of the element.

All the atoms behave the same way in chemical reactions, because they are the same element. In order to separate out the various isotopes, you have to use something like a centrifuge to sort them out by mass.
