Isotopes depend of the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The number of protons will always remain the same for that particular element. The number of neutrons may vary because they do not affect the charge, but rather its weight. This is why we have peculiar numbers for the average Atomic Mass, because some elements have different isotopes and based on how common they are will affect its average atomic mass.

Why are the ionisation energy of isotopes the same?
no the same,first ionisation contains a slightly differences in isotopes
Does iron have any important isotopes?
Differences between uranium isotopes: natural isotopes (U-234, U-235, U-238) and the artificial isotopes; differences in atomic mass; differences in the number of neutrons; differences of the half life; differences in the emitted radiations (type, energy, percentage); differences in the decay chain; differences in the technological importance; etc.
Are the three isotopes of carbon chemically alike?
Yes, chemically they are alike (more correct is to say that the differences are not significant).
Why can't you separate uranium isotopes through chemical means?
The mass differences between uranium isotopes is extremely low. But the separation is so still possible at laboratory scale but not practical: ion exchange separation, distillation.
What determines the different isotopes of an atom?
The isotopes of an atom are defined by the number of neutrons their nuclei have for their fixed number of protons. However, I wouldn't say that neutrons are solely responsible for the presence of isotopes because isotopes also depend on the existence of many other particles such as protons, quarks and gluons. Neutrons certainly are responsible for the way we label isotopes, though.
What do isotopes depend on?
Isotopes have different number of neutrons.
What are the differences between elements and isotopes?
element vs isotopes
What are the differences in isotopes of the same elements?
Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in Neutrons.
Why are the ionisation energy of isotopes the same?
no the same,first ionisation contains a slightly differences in isotopes

How many chemical properties does isotopes have?
All the isotopes of a chemical element are identical; some differences exist for light elements (ex. H or D).
Do isotopes exhibit the same chemical atomic properties yes or no?
No, there are differences in chemical properties of different isotopes of the same element. For instance, certain isotopes will be radioactive while other isotopes will be stable and nonradioactive. Also, the different isotopes of hydrogen are significantly different depending on the number of neutrons present.
What are isotopes of hydrogen?
Deuterium (D), Tritium(T), and Protium Each having differences.
Can the existence of isotopes explain the differences in properties between diamond and graphite?
This explanation is not correct.
What isotopes of hydrogen?
Deuterium (D), Tritium(T), and Protium Each having differences.
Why the density of enriched uranium remains constant?
Absolutely correctly speaking the density of different isotopes are not identical; but the differences are very small, especially for heavy isotopes.
Is there any difference in the reactivity of different isotopes of the same alkali metal?
These differences doesn't exist.
