All of the isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties because they all have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons in their valence shells.
Chemical reactions involve electrons - not protons or neutrons. All isotopes of the same element have an identical number of electrons (just the number of neutrons differs) and hence the chemical properties are identical/very similar.
Isotopes of the same element have the same atomic size because atomic size is determined by the number of protons and this number is always constant for an element. The mass number of isotopes may however vary.
Iodine and chlorine have very similar chemical properties because they are in the same chemical family (go see a periodic table). They are both halogens (so they have the same valence electrons).
All liquids are not the same: they have different physical and chemical properties.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.
chemical properties
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 are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.
They all have the same chemical 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.
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 are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.
All isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties due to the following reasons: * they all have the same electrons in the OUTERMOST shell. * they all have the same electronic configuration.
Chemical reactions involve electrons - not protons or neutrons. All isotopes of the same element have an identical number of electrons (just the number of neutrons differs) and hence the chemical properties are identical/very similar.
The number of protons and electrons is identical.
The chemical properties of an element depend on its electron configuration, which is in turn determined by the number of protons. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, which, being neutral, have not influence on chemical properties.
