All have the same nuclear charge and consequently the same electron configuration.
Radiotracers have the same chemical properties to the stable isotopes of an element.
Chemically isotopes (excepting H,D,T) are identical.
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons. They will also have the same number of electrons in a neutral state. Where they differ is in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. The chemical properties of an element are almost entirely determined by its electron structure, since chemical bonds can be understood as the transfer or sharing of electrons. This means isotopes of the same element will behave in the same way chemically. They will form the same chemical compounds and be largely indistinguishable from their isotopic brethren.
Not directly. Isotopes are different forms of an element having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus. But as different isotopes have the same chemical properties, they all can form the same compounds which function the same chemically.

The basic reason that it is difficult for the chemist to distinguish between isotopes is that all the isotopes of a given element have the same chemistry. They all behave the same way chemically because the only difference between these isotopes is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of these atoms. And the number of neutrons in the nucleus doesn't really affect the chemistry of an atom of a given element.

All isotopes of a substance are chemically the same. It is their physical properties which are different.

Dalton said that all atoms of one element are identical. they are chemically identical but not identical in mass. he did not know of isotopes, which are chemically identical atoms with different numbers of neutral neutrons. ex: all carbon atoms act the same chemically but some mass at 12, others at 14.
because chemical reactions rely on the donation, acceptance and/or sharing of electrons - if the number of electrons remains the same, the chemical behavior tends to remain the same (and isotopes of the same element will all have the same number of electrons and valence shell occupations).
Isotopes The weights are different because the quantity of neutrons are different. However, the Isotopes still have exactly the same number of protons and electrons as each other, so they are chemically identical. Just the weights are different.

Isotopes are different forms of the same element which have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. A given element is identified by the number of protons in its nucleus; that's its atomic number. Two different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but each has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. Different isotopes of the same element are chemically the same.
Not 100%; Istopes of an element do have identical electronic structures but there are slight differences in mass: 'Molecules with different isotopes of a particular element have different bonding characteristics: the bonds between the atoms are just a bit different because the atoms have different masses. As a result, the molecules with different isotopes behave a little bit different during chemical reactions.' See related link
