Why is it extremely difficult to separate the two isotopes of copper 63Cu and 65Cu?

The separation of isotopes is relatively easy for light elements as hydrogen, lithium, nitrogen etc. For elements with higher atomic weight and a small difference between the atomic masses of the isotopes the process is long and expensive. The insignificant differences between these isotopes doesn't facilitate the separation.

Do any copper isotopes have a mass of 63.546 amu?
No
All isotopes of the element copper contains?
29 protons
Is copper radioactive?
No isotope of copper ordinarily found in nature is radioactive. Like all elements, synthetic radioactive isotopes of copper exist.
Why do the two isotopes of copper have the same chemical properties?
wellington college
Does copper have oxygen?
No. Copper and oxygen are two separate elements.
How many stable isotopes does the element copper have?
copper has 2 stable isotopes
How many isotopes does copper have?
Copper has natural isotopes of 63,67. And other isotopes are known at least from 58 through 70. But these are unstable.
What are coppers common isotopes?
The natural isotopes of copper are: Cu-63 and Cu-65.
How does copper compare to magnesium when you burn the copper?
Magnesium burns very easily indeed and is self sustaining once it is burning. Copper is extremely difficult to burn and requires very high temperatures.
How many isotopes are in the element Copper?
29
Why is the atomic mass of copper not exactly equal to 64 midway between the mass numbers of copper-63 and copper-65?
Because copper has isotopes. All Copper atoms have exactly the same number of protons, but not all of them have the same number of neutrons. The ones with different numbers of neutrons are known as isotopes. A given sample of Copper will contain various amounts of each of its isotopes. The atomic mass (weight) is an average weight, based on the percentages of the isotopes
Do copper isotopes have a whole atomic mass?
The isotopes of copper have the relative atomic masses of 63 and 65 and these are approximations. The exact values contain decimal figures.
