Best Answer

Elements can exist in the form of different isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but have different numbers of neutrons. The first gives them the same atomic number and chemical properties while the second gives them different atomic weights.

Where can isotopes be found?

elements are isotopes, when different atoms of the same element have different number of neutrons


Why the mass number of the same atom of an element is not constant?

Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.


How are the isotopes of an element are alike and how are they different?

The isotopes of an element are alike in that they have the same number of protons, electrons, and the same chemical properties. The isotopes are different in that they have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses.

How are isotopes different than naturally occurring elements?

Isotopes of an element have different masses because their nuclei have different numbers of neutrons.

How are two atoms of the same elements alike?

They have all the chemical, physical, nuclear properties identical. This is not the case for isotopes.
