Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).

How is radioactive Isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
How is a radioactive isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
What is the half life of the radioactive isotope?
The half life is the period of time it takes radioactive decay to transmute one half of the isotope present at the start of the period to a different isotope, usually an isotope of a different element. This period of time is different for different isotopes, with known isotope half lives ranging from femtoseconds to many billions of years.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.
Which subatomic particle identifies an isotope?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
How can the researcher change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element?
By striking it with neutrons.
Number of isotope neutrons in beryllium?
Each isotope of beryllium has a different number of neutrons.
How can the researcher change one isotope into a different isotope of the same elements?
By striking it with neutrons.
An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?
It is called an isotope.
What is an isotope?
An isotope is an element with the same number of electrons and protons different number of neutrons.
What does an isotope have?
A different amount of neutrons.
What is the same and what is the different for an isotope compared to an atom?
An isotope will have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons than a given atom.
