Almost all the chemical properties of an atom are determined by the valence shell electrons or in general, by the no of electrons present in the atom.
Since in an isotope and a general atom, no. of electrons is same, therefore they have similar chemical properties.
Isotopes differ in Atomic Mass only and that is due to extra neutrons.
What else can I help you with?
means of isotope?
An isotope is an atom that has an irregular number of neutrons in its nucleus. Since it has the same number of protons as a normal atom, they still have the same chemical properties and are still technically the same thing, but since the atomic weight is different they have slightly different physical properties.
Where do you find the isotopes in an atom?
Isotopes are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The different isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different physical properties.
What effect does the presence of an extra neutron have on the chemical properties of the new atoms formes?
The addition of neutrons to the nucleus of an atom creates a new isotope of the element. It changes the nuclear properties of the atom, but has no effect on its chemical properties. Chemical reactions occur as the result of interactions between the electrons of atoms, not their nucleii so, for example, Carbon-12 and Carbon 14 will react chemically in exactly the same ways. The resulting compounds will have identical chemical properties but different molecular weights.
How do you determine the isotope?
Isotopes are determined by the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Each isotope of an element has the same number of protons in its nucleus but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.

How is nuclear change differ from normal chemical change?
Nuclear change usually (but not always) changes the element of an atom itself; at the very least, it changes the isotope of the atom, altering its radiological properties (such as its half life). A chemical change means a change to a molecule in which the atom is bound.

How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a typical iron atom?
30 neutrons in the most stable isotope of iron (Fe-56).
How many neutrons are in an atom of I?
A typical atom of iodine contains 74 neutrons.
Is bromine an isotope ion or atom?
Bromine is a chemical element and has several isotopes.
What is the only particle that can change in number for an isotope?
The Neutron- An element with the same number of protons and electrons, but with a different number of neutrons per atom than the original element is called an "isotope". An isotope will have, for all intensive purposes, about the same chemical and physical properties as the original element. Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
What gives the atom its chemical properties?
the electron
What in a atom determine its chemical properties?
electrons
How do you determine the isotope?
Isotopes are determined by the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Each isotope of an element has the same number of protons in its nucleus but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
What is an aluminum atom?
An atom is simply the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element. An aluminum atom, is simply that, the smallest part of aluminum having the chemical properties of aluminum.
