The basic reason that it is difficult for the chemist to distinguish between isotopes is that all the isotopes of a given element have the same chemistry. They all behave the same way chemically because the only difference between these isotopes is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of these atoms. And the number of neutrons in the nucleus doesn't really affect the chemistry of an atom of a given element.
