Give one example of an isotope and how it is different from others.
Answers
Answer:
Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons
Examples:- HydrogenHydrogen-1 (proton (1) neutron (1) electron (0))Hydrogen-2 (proton (1) neutron (1) electron (1))Hydrogen-3 (proton (1) neutron (1) electron (2))- ChlorineChlorine-35 (proton (17) neutron (17) electron (18))Chlorine-37 (proton (17) neutron (17) electron (20))
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes have the same atomic number.
Isotopes have a different atomic mass.
Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties due to the fact that their similar arrangement and number of electrons.
Isotopes occur at same place inperiodic table.
Answer:
For example, carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 are three isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12, 13, and 14, respectively. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that every carbon atom has 6 protons so that the neutron numbers of these isotopes are 6, 7, and 8 respectively.
