The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines their chemical properties. It is the arrangement of electrons, which is determined by the number of protons, that governs an element's chemical behavior. Therefore, isotopes of an element exhibit the same chemical properties.
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.
chemical properties
The differences in chemical properties are not significant (excepting protium and deuterium); the physical properties are different.
Isotopes are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.
They have the same number of protons (and of electrons) and so their chemical properties are the same.
All isotopes of a substance are chemically the same. It is their physical properties which are different.
All Isotopes have the same chemical properties because: * they all have the same electrons in the OUTERMOST shell. * they all have the same electronic configuration.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines the element's chemical properties. The differing number of neutrons in isotopes does not significantly affect the element's chemical behavior.
No, there are differences in chemical properties of different isotopes of the same element. For instance, certain isotopes will be radioactive while other isotopes will be stable and nonradioactive. Also, the different isotopes of hydrogen are significantly different depending on the number of neutrons present.
The physical properties are of course different. The chemical properties are considered identical but this is not a general rule; for example hydrogen isotopes (1H and 2H) have some different chemical and biochemical properties.
...electrons.Isotopes contain the same number of protons (hence, the same number of electrons) and electrons are what determine reactivity. 2nd answer : The isotopes have the same chemical properties because the electronic configuration of an element is same there fore isotopes posses the same chemical properties .
