Isotopes contribute to the atomic weight of a chemical element.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines the element's chemical properties. The differing number of neutrons in isotopes does not significantly affect the element's chemical behavior.
An isotope is not a chemical property; rather, it refers to different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes can affect the physical properties of an element, such as its mass and stability, but they do not change its chemical properties.
The chemical properties of an element are determined by the number and configuration of its electrons, which depends on the size of the charge of the atom's nucleus. The charge is determined by the number of protons. Isotopes of a given element differ only in the number of neutrons, which do not have a charge and thus do not affect the electron configuration.
by having the same number of protons and electrons and so still have the same chemical properties and physical properties with the exception of being somewhat denser.All of the isotopes of an element contain the same number of protons. They differ only in the number of neutrons.The number of electrons is an ionization state issue, and does not affect isotopic identity.
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different numbers of neutrons. The atomic mass of an atom is approximated by the number of neutrons plus the number of protons; it follows, then, that isotopes of an element differ in their atomic masses. Mass itself is a physical property. Other properties related to mass also vary by isotope: density (mass/volume), boiling point, freezing point, and the degree of ion deflection in a mass spectrometer are perhaps the most obvious of these related properties. The rate of diffusion is also affected; as per Graham's law of effusion, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass. (This property played a crucial role in the development of the atomic bomb.)
The number of neutrons in the atoms. This affect some physical properties.

Yes - by the basic definition of an element; excepting only isotopes of an element, which differ slightly from each other in atomic structure, but not enough to affect the element's outwards physical and chemical properties.

Atoms with the same atomic number and same chemical properties in their purest form are isotopes. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons. This does not affect their chemical behavior but may affect physical properties like atomic mass.
Yes, the differences in properties between diamond and graphite can be explained by the existence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, which can affect the atomic structure and bonding in materials. In the case of diamond and graphite, the arrangement of carbon atoms and the bonding configuration due to isotopes lead to their distinct properties.
ISOTOPES= SAME element with different number of ""NEUTRONS""*chemical properties ONLY depend on the outer arrangement of electrons and the way they are shared with other atoms---->so the change in # of neutrons wouldn't affect its chemical properties*physical properties ( boiling and melting points, density...) would definitely be affected by any change in your element.
