The definitive statement is 'Isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons'.
Taking hydrogen as an example.
It has three isotopes;-
#1 ; protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron ( The commonest isotope)
#2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron ( also known as heavy hydrogen)
#3 ; tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons, 1 electron ( radio-active; and also known as super heavy hydrogen).
Note in each case the different number of neutrons.

Atoms have protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the shells.
The number of protons = the number electrons
The mass of the atom is due to the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Copper is number 29 on the Periodic Table, which means all copper atoms have 29 protons in the nucleus.
Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu- 63 has 29 protons and 34 neutrons and has an Atomic Mass of 62.93. Cu-65 has 29 protons and 34 neutrons and has an atomic mass of 64.93.Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.

Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
How do isoptopes of an element differ from each other?
Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.
How are isotopes of the same element different from each other?
They differ in their number of neutrons.Atoms of all isotopes of carbon contain 6 protons and 6 electrons.Carbon-12 is the most common isotope.Isotopes of an element differ because each isotope has a different neutrons, but the same amount of protons.Example: H-1H-2H-1 has 1 neutron, 1 proton, and 1 electronH-2 ,however, has 2 neutrons, 1 proton, and 1 electron.
Are carbon and nitrogen isotopes of each other?
No! Nuclides with different element names are never isotopes of each other, because their nuclei contain different numbers of protons and therefore are not chemically alike.
Chlorine has two isotopesstate one way in which atoms of the two isotopes are the same?
The two isotopes of chlorine are the same in that they have the same number of protons, which is the atomic number. The neutral atoms of each isotope also have the same number of electrons as protons. They differ in the number of neutrons.
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes have different physical properties but similar chemical properties.
How do the three magnesium isotopes differ from each other?
The number of neutrons is different.
How do isoptopes of an element differ from each other?
Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons.
How do two isotopes of an element differ from each other?
They have the same formulas but different organic structures.
How do the 2 sodium isotopes shown in the model differ from each other?
The number of neutrons is different.
All the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No they don't have. Isotopes of an element differ in mass from from each other and this is due to the different no. of electrons in their nucleus.
How do the isotopes of cu-63 and cu -65 differ from each other?
they are different isotopes of copper 1 has 2 more neutrons than the other
Why is the chemical property of an isotope similar?
Isotopes differ each other from the number of neutrons which is a chemically inert subatomic particle.
How do isotopes of An differ from one another?
They differ from each other in the number of neutrons, and therefore also the mass. They will also have different stabilities (for example, some of them may be radioactive), but this is complicated.
