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.
