How do the atoms of one isotope differ from those of other isotopes of the same element?

Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.


5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass for isotopes. The element atoms on the periodic table represent the average mass of all its naturally occurring isotopes.


What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?

The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.


What determines the isotopes of an atom?

Different isotopes of an atom are determined by the number of neutrons it contains.


How do isotopes of an element differ?

Different isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons and thus in their atomic weight.
