isotopes are atoms of the same element, having same atomic number but different atomic masses due to the difference in the number of neutrons present

What are isotopes easy definition?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons. This results in isotopes having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.

Yes, but they have varying amounts of neutrons.


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?

YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.


Are all atoms of elements the same?

No. Generally definition of an element refer to a group of atoms that have same number of protons and share same chemical properties and called isotopes of an element. Though weight of isotopes can differ representing difference in neutron number.
