Question

define the term"isotopes" ?

Answer 1

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom. The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos (ἴσος "equal") and topos (τόπος "place"), meaning "the same place"; thus, the meaning behind the name is that different isotopes of a single element occupy the same position on the periodic table.

Answer 2

hii

isotopes are the elements with one atomic number showing variable atomic masses. eg; C14
