The atoms of an isotope of one particular element are different from other isotopes of the same element because their atoms have a different number of neutrons.
Isotope
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
an isotope is defined by an atom with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons
An isotope is where an atom has a different number of neutrons than what it should be.e.g.Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons = 197 nucleons.But some gold atoms are strange they only have 117 neutrons.They are isotopes.
An isotope will have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons than a given atom.

Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
