What does istope mean?

Answer 1

- the same chemistry, the same number of electrons and protons - except for different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. Examples are 12C and 14C (6 and 8 neutrons) and 235U and 238U (146 and 143 neutrons).

Answer 2

First, there are 92 different types of atoms on Earth. All of them are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. How they vary is in the number of protons, neutrons and electrons they have.

Which element they are depends on the number of protons. One proton, it's hydrogen, two protons it's helium, etc. So every single atom of hydrogen has one and only one proton..... BUT, most hydrogen atoms have no neutron, a small amount of hydrogen atoms have one neutron and an even smaller number has three neutrons. These are all atoms of hydrogen because they all have one proton, but they vary in how many neutrons they have. That is an isotope. Different types of the same type of atom, because they vary NOT in the number of protons they have, but in the number of neutrons they have.
