No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.
No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.

All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.

Does isotopes only occur on heavier element?

No - the lightest element Hydrogen has three known isotopes


Does every element has two stable isotopes?

No, Gold and several other elements have only one stable isotope, Promethium & Technetium as well as all elements heavier than Bismuth have no stable isotopes.


What are the uses of fermium mendelevium and einsteinium?

These elements are used only for nuclear physics research or as a raw material to obtain new heavier isotopes.


What happens with fusion of heavier element?

When heavier elements undergo fusion, they release energy in the form of light and heat. This process can only occur in extreme conditions, such as the high temperatures and pressures found in stars or during a thermonuclear reaction. Fusion of heavier elements can lead to the formation of even heavier elements and can release a tremendous amount of energy.


Which alkali metal element has no stable isotopes?

Elements with no stable isotopes include technetium (element 43) and promethium (element 61) and all elements heavier than lead (elements 83 and higher). Bismuth, element 83, is virtually stable with an extremely long half life of 1.9 x 1019 years.


Do atoms have neutrons in them?

Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.


Where are the unstable and radioactive elements found in the periodic table?

All elements have unstable isotopes so the answer would be everywhere. However if you mean 'elements with only unstable isotopes' thennumber 43 Technetiumnumber 61 Promethiumeverything above 92


What are all the elements that do not have isotopes?

There are many elements that have only one naturally occurring isotope. When you get to transuranic elements the elements all have no naturally occurring isotopes. But all elements have isotopes, they just have to be created, maybe in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator or a supernova explosion.


What is unusual about the isotopic composition of bromine?

Bromine has two stable isotopes, bromine-79 and bromine-81, which are the only two isotopes that occur naturally. This limited natural isotopic composition is unusual compared to other elements that have a wider range of stable isotopes.


Why can you only get certain amounts of isotopes such as hydrogen having none or 1 or 2 neutrons and not 3 or above?

heavier isotopes can be produces but their halflives are in the microsecond or shorter range.


Why do individual isotopes not appear on the periodic table?

In the periodic table only the chemical elements appear; but tables for isotopes also exist.


All isotopes of this element are radioactive?

Radioactive Elements (38) These elements are radioactive. They either have no stable naturally occurring isotope, or else are entirely artificial (all artificial elements have no stable isotopes). by Andrew Moore
