rate of reaction. rate of reaction depends on the rate of collisions of the particles. the collisions are more frequent with a higher speed. kinetic energy=1/2 mass x speed^2. the different isotopes have different masses, meaning that for the same amount of kinetic energy, the particles have different speeds. Heavier isotopes will therefore react more slowly.

What is the name of carbon isotopes?
The stable carbon isotopes are carbon-12 & carbon-13. There are several other unstable isotopes.
Does every atom contain carbon O2 and H20?
No; each atom is specific only for the isotopes of a chemical element. * Carbon is a a chemical element. * Oxygen is a a chemical element; O2 is the symbol of the diatomic molecule of oxygen. * H2O is the chemical formula for the molecule of water.
Two isotopes of the element rubidium differ in their number of protons?
no isotopes of a particular chemical element all have the same number of protons
Give you the structure and composition of isotopes of hydrogen and carbon?

What do all carbon isotopes have in common?
All carbon isotopes have the same number of neutrons.
What is the name of carbon isotopes?

The following atoms are all variations of the element carbon. 12c 13c and 14c. what are theses variations called?
The following atoms are all variations of the element carbon 12C 13C 14C what are these variations called isotopes. Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element.
What is the difference between an isotope and an atom?
An atom is the smallest possible particle of a chemical element consisting pr protons, electrons and (usually) neutrons. An isotope is one variant of an element with a given number of neutrons. Different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.

What do Carbon isotopes have in common?
All carbon isotopes have the same number of neutrons.
2 isotopes of carbon?
Yes Carbon 12, Carbon 13 and Carbon 14 are isotopes of carbon. Diamond and graphite are allotropes.
Are isotopes different in terms of their chemical properties?
A difference of chemical properties is observed for light elements; for other elements these differences are extremely small.
5 examples of isotope and its uses?
Isotopes are Chemical elements which will be having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Few examples for Isotopes are: Carbon, Uranium, Helium. Isotopes are used in Radioactivity, Radiation Oncology, Radiometric dating.
