Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons. They will also have the same number of electrons in a neutral state. Where they differ is in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. The chemical properties of an element are almost entirely determined by its electron structure, since chemical bonds can be understood as the transfer or sharing of electrons. This means isotopes of the same element will behave in the same way chemically. They will form the same chemical compounds and be largely indistinguishable from their isotopic brethren.
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
Yes. The gram atomic mass of each element is the sum of the products of each stable isotope's isotopic fraction multiplied by the mass of that isotope.
The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope
the number of neutrons.
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
They have a different number of neutrons.
