Isotopes are forms of an element that have different numbers of neutrons. For example, deuterium is hydrogen that has one neutron, protium is hydrogen that has no neutrons. So the question doesn't make any sense.

I think you're trying to ask if you can separate various isotopes of an element. The answer is yes; there are a few companies that specialize in doing this and can sell you samples of material which is isotopically enriched in a particular isotope.

Why need to know the percentage of each isotope of an element to determine the atomic mass?

Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.

An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?


What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?

An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.


How do you find the atomic number of an isotope?

The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.


An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?

It is called an isotope.


What is a antonym for isotope?

The antonym for isotope is non-isotope. An isotope refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, whereas non-isotope would refer to atoms of the same element having the same number of neutrons.


Which is a factor in determining the average atomic mass of an element?

The two main factors in determining the average atomic mass of an element are:the isotopic composition of the element (the fraction of each isotope)the atomic mass of each isotope


How are an atom an element and an isotope different from each other?

An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.


What changes in an isotope as compared to its parent element?

An isotope differs from its parent element in the number of neutrons in its nucleus, which can affect its stability and properties.
