Define the term isotope.

Isotopes are atoms of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

2
New cards

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

Because they have the same number of electrons and the same electronic configuration.

3
New cards

Why do isotopes of the same element have different physical properties?

Because they have different numbers of neutrons, which gives them different masses and therefore different densities.

4
New cards

Which properties of isotopes are different and why?

Physical properties like mass and density are different due to varying numbers of neutrons.
