Answer:

Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. ... Chemically, all three are indistinguishable, because the number of electrons in each of these three isotopes is the same. So different isotopes of the same element are identical, chemically speaking

Answer:

For protons, the number always equals the atomic number of the element. Isotopes are simply specifying the number of neutrons and protons (together called nucleons) in the atom. So, Carbon-12, which has an atomic mass number of 12, has 6 neutrons (12 nucleons - 6 protons = 6 neutrons).
