how do you find the fractional abundance of an isotope?
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Paper clips, some coated with plastic and some without.
The numbers of protons and electrons are identical.
Not atom, but element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons (for a neutral atom) and a different number of neutrons. The chemical properties of isotopes are generally similar, excepting the isotopes with a low atomic mass, as hydrogen. Some physical properties of the isotopes are very different: atomic mass, radio-activity, possible nuclear reactions, cross section area, etc.
Protons of all chemical elements are similar. All the isotopes of uranium have 92 protons.
The penny analogy for isotopes can be misleading because unlike pennies, isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons which can result in different properties. Pennies are all identical regardless of year, whereas isotopes have variations in their physical behavior due to differing numbers of neutrons. Additionally, the chemical behavior of isotopes might differ slightly due to their mass differences, unlike identical pennies.
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
All the isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral state).
Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.
Isotopes of a chemical element have a similar number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
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.

They will have a different number of neutrons.
The number of protons is the same.
The numbers of protons and electrons are identical.

All gold atoms (excepting artificial isotopes) are similar.
