The only thing different with isotopes is the mass. The chemical properties are determined by the number of electrons and thus protons. These do not change with a different isotope.

Where can isotopes be found?

elements are isotopes, when different atoms of the same element have different number of neutrons


What are elements with isotopic atoms?

Elements with isotopic atoms? An isotope is the same form of an element, but with a different number of neutrons. An element with isotopes/"isotopic atoms" is simply an element with isotopes.


What isotopes of uncharded elements have different numbers?

The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.


Isotopes of elements?

Isotopes of elements are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes of the same element to have different atomic masses. Isotopes can be stable or unstable, with unstable isotopes undergoing radioactive decay.


Where do the neutrons come from to have an element be considered an isotope?

# Elements are not isotopes, atoms are isotopes of an element. # There are no atoms that are not isotopes, so it's not a matter of being "considered" an isotope or not. # It doesn't matter where the neutrons come from, whatever that means. All atoms are isotopes of some element or other.


Why the mass number of the same atom of an element is not constant?

Since you have isotopes of elements. Isotopes are elements with different number of neutrons hence why the different atomic masses for the same elements.


What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?

They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.


What property is different in and isotope of an element?

The number of neutrons is different in isotopes of an element. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons (which defines the element) but different numbers of neutrons. This variation in neutron number gives rise to different atomic masses among isotopes of an element.


How are isotopes different than naturally occurring elements?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, while naturally occurring elements refer to all atoms of a particular element found in nature. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different atomic masses, whereas naturally occurring elements have consistent atomic masses based on the average of all isotopes present.


Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?

No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.


Can alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same elements?

False.


What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?

The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
