Answer:
Isotopes :->
it is defined as the element having same atomic number but different mass number are called isotopes .
Some examples are
Hydrogen ,dutarium ,tritium
Since hydrogen atomic number is 1 and its isotopes dutarium and tritium have 2 and 3 mass number .
Dutarium is used in nuclear reactor too .
The increase in mass due to neutron which doesn't effect the chemical reaction since electron and proton are same so it's only physical properties become different that is mass ,density etc
