Isotopes are made out of subatomic particles (elementary ones are: protons, neutrons, and electrons).
They contain the same number of protons and electrons as the element, but the number of neutrons vary slightly. Neutrons, as the name implies are neutral, and for this level, really only add mass to the an atom.
Extra bit of information: Isotopes will decay to reach their "default neutron count" (#neutrons = #protons). This is exactly fundamentally Carbon dating works.

Where are isotops located?
Just about anywhere.
How many isotops in iron?
Four
What is the isotop of oxygen?
Oxygen has 3 stable isotops found in the nature 16O (99,757%), 17O (0,038%), 18O (0,205%). There are also 14 other isotops made by humans, but the most stable one is 15O with a half-life of 122 seconds.
What will always be different in the isotops of atoms?
Atomic Mass
What is the term used for atoms of the same element that have different number of neutrons?
isotops
Is the neutron number always the same for atoms for atoms of the same element?
No, that is why we have isotops. Example: hydrogen can have 0,1,2 neutrons
What are isotopes and their differences?
Atoms of same element with same atomic number,which have different mass number is called isotops.
Do people use nuclear power in medicines?
Yes, radioactive isotops used for some medical scans come from nucular power.
What is radio activity isotops?
Radio active isotopes are unstable isotopes of an element as there neutron number degenerate by emission of light or medium.
How are isotops the same and how are they different?
Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.
How are isotops different from regular elements?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Some elements have more than one isotope and some don't. The isotopes of an element are chemically identical, they just differ in mass. There is nothing special about any particular isotope, elements with them are just as 'regular' as the few which don't.
How isotops give out energy?
Isotopes give out energy through a process known as radioactive decay. During radioactive decay, unstable isotopes release energy in the form of radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays as they transform into more stable forms. This energy release can be harnessed for various applications, including in nuclear power plants and medical treatments.
