Question

» Explain chemical properties and physical properties of
isotopes with suitable examples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical and Physical Properties of Isotopes

We have seen that isotopes differ in mass number. The mass number has very little bearing on chemical reactions; therefore the reactivity and chemical reactions of an element's different isotopes are almost identical.

The physical properties of atoms, however, do depend on mass. This enables isotopes to be separated from one another by methods such as diffusion and fractional distillation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between isotopes and isobars

The below table gives a few differences between isotopes and isobars.

Isobars Isotopes

Chemicals elements which have the same mass Different atomic structure of the same element

The atomic masses are equal The atomic masses are different

Often the physical properties are similar

Usually, physical properties are different

Atomic numbers are different Atomic numbers are the same

Chemical elements are different same chemical elements but in different forms
