Their atoms have the same number of protons and electrons and therefore have the same chemical properties. However, the atoms do differ in the number of neutrons and so their physical properties are slightly different.

Which statement is true Isotopes are atoms of different elements with equal mass. For the same element they have equal numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have similar chemical properties?

For the same element, isotopes have equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of a given element have similar chemical properties due to having the same number of electrons, which determines an element's chemical behavior.
