Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?

- Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.

∙ 13y agoIsotopes of the same element (ie silver) show the same chemical properties but slightly different physical properties. This is because the neutrons have no effect on the reactivity of a substance.

the number of protons, chemical properties, and the number of electrons.

∙ 11y agoso when isotopes react with any chemical it shows similar properties .. but when we see the both isotopes the will be different in their physical appearance......

Why do all isotpoes of an element have the same chemical properties?
Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.
All isotopes of an element have the same?
chemical properties
How do the atomic number of the different isotopes an element compare?
The atomic number is the same for the all isotopes of a chemical element.
What so two different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common?
Different Isotopes of the same element will each exhibit the same Chemical Characteristics.
What property of isotopes allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions?
Radiotracers have the same chemical properties to the stable isotopes of an element.
Do isotopes have the same A number?
The atomic number is the same for the isotopes of a chemical element.

How are isotopes of one element similar to each other?
An isotope of an element is same as the element in that it has the same number of protons. An isotope of an element is different from the element in that it has a different number of neutrons.
Why the isotopes have the same chemical properties?
The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons.
Plus how are all of the isotopes of an element similar?
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral state).
Substances that are the same chemical element but have different masses are called?
isotopes
Why isotopes of the same elements are chemically similar?
because chemical reactions rely on the donation, acceptance and/or sharing of electrons - if the number of electrons remains the same, the chemical behavior tends to remain the same (and isotopes of the same element will all have the same number of electrons and valence shell occupations).
What property of isotopes allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions?
Radiotracers have the same chemical properties to the stable isotopes of an element.
Why do all the isotopes have the same chemical properties?
All of the isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties because they all have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons in their valence shells.
