The fundamental particle responsible for isotopes is the neutron. As such, different isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number (since the protons never change), but have a different atomic weight/mass dependent on the differing number of neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
For instance, the element carbon has 6 protons (a different number of protons would yield a different element); therefore, carbon has an atomic number of 6. However, there are 15 known isotopes of carbon that all have a different number of neutrons and thus a different atomic weight. Of those 15 isotopes, only three occur naturally, so let's use these in the example. These three naturally-occurring isotopes are carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14 (the numbers represent the isotope's atomic weight). These isotopes have 6, 7 and 8 neutrons, respectively, paired with the 6 protons in the nucleus.
protons: 6
+
neutrons: 6
------------------------------
Carbon 12 (6 + 6 = 12)
protons: 6
+
neutrons: 7
------------------------------
Carbon 13 (6 + 7 = 13)
protons: 6
+
neutrons: 8
------------------------------
Carbon 14 (6 + 8 = 14)
What else can I help you with?
Fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is muon or meson?
It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.
What particle changes is required to make an element an isotope?
neutrons
What isotope is formed when 3H emits a b particle?
The isotope formed when tritium (3H) emits a beta particle is helium-3 (3He). This process occurs when a neutron in the tritium nucleus converts to a proton, releasing a beta particle (electron) and an electron antineutrino.
How many kinds of fundamental particle have been discovered?
The fundamental paticles are Quarks , they are of 6 types.
What elementary particle is responsible for chemical properties?
This particle is the electron.

Which subatomic particle identifies an isotope?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Is there any fundamental particle inside an electron?
A fundamental particle (elementary particle) is one that is not made up of other particles. An electron is a good example of a fundamental particle. On the other hand, protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles. They are made up of fundamental particles called quarks (two up and one down for the proton, and two down and one up for the neutron).Assuming electron as fundamental particle,what is it's primary ,in order to sense it's environment?
Is alpha particle non fundamental?
Yes, the alpha particle is nonfundamental.
What particle will be emitted probably by an isotope with an atomic number greater than 83?
An Alpha particle
Why is the electron a fundamental particle?
Electron is fundamental particle because hi isnt made up of smaller particles like proton.
Fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is muon or meson?
It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.
Is a selectron a fundamental particle found in atoms?
No, the selectron is a theoretical supersymmetric partner of the electron. It has not been observed in experiments and is not considered a fundamental particle of the Standard Model of particle physics.
What particle changes is required to make an element an isotope?
neutrons
What is matter in which every particle is identical?
These are atoms of an isotope.
