Chemical properties are determined by the electron configuration of an atom, not by its mass. These do not differ in all isotopes of one element, because isotopes have the same number of PROTONS thus the same electron configuration. Only the mass of different isotopes of one element is different by the different number of NEUTRONS.

Do atoms of the same element differ in chemical properties?

No. Atoms of the same element have the same chemical properties.


Why do all the isotopes have the same chemical properties?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines their chemical properties. It is the arrangement of electrons, which is determined by the number of protons, that governs an element's chemical behavior. Therefore, isotopes of an element exhibit the same chemical properties.


Why do isotope have the same chemical properties?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines the element's chemical properties. The differing number of neutrons in isotopes does not significantly affect the element's chemical behavior.


Is isotopes of same element have same properties?

The differences in chemical properties are not significant (excepting protium and deuterium); the physical properties are different.


Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?

Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.


Is an isotope a chemical property?

An isotope is not a chemical property; rather, it refers to different forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes can affect the physical properties of an element, such as its mass and stability, but they do not change its chemical properties.

Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.


Why don't compounds have the same chemical properties that form them?

Because an element is an element and a molecule is a molecule; they are different chemical entities and of course they have different chemical and physical properties.

Why the isotopes have the same chemical properties?

The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons.


How can diamond and graphite have different physical and chemical properties if they are made out of the same element?

Actually they have the same chemical properties so therefore they are allotropes of carbon
