Answer:
Isotopes are one of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number and position in the periodic table and nearly identical chemical behavior but with different atomic masses and physical properties. Every chemical element has one or more isotopes.
Eg: The three isotopes of hydrogen are:
1) Protium, or hydrogen-1 which contains 1 proton, 1 electron, and no neutrons.
2) Deuterium, or hydrogen-2 which contains 1 proton, 1 electron, and 1 neutron.
3) Tritium, or hydrogen-3 which contains 1 proton, 1 electron, and 2 neutrons. It can also be noted that this isotope of hydrogen is radioactive.
