Ne-20 is the most common (91%) isotope with 10 neutrons in its nucleus. The other isotope Ne-22, with 12 neutron, is found for 9% of the naturally occurring Neon.

Where do the neutrons come from to have an element be considered an isotope?

# Elements are not isotopes, atoms are isotopes of an element. # There are no atoms that are not isotopes, so it's not a matter of being "considered" an isotope or not. # It doesn't matter where the neutrons come from, whatever that means. All atoms are isotopes of some element or other.

What is the similarity of radioactive isotope and radioactive dating?

Radioactive isotopes are used for radioactive dating. For example, you would use radioactive isotope Carbon-14 to date anything under 70,000 years that was once living. Radioactive isotopes decay from their parent isotope to daughter isotope at a constant rate (under any circumstances). The rate at which a parent isotope decays to its daughter isotope is considered one half life. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years and its daughter isotope is Nitrogen-14. In order to determine how old something is you have to find out how much of the parent isotope is present in relation to the daughter.

What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?

That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
