Isotopes

★ Isotopes are elements that have same atomic number but different mass number.

★ This means that they have same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

★ They have similar chemical properties.

★ Their physical properties may differ.

★ Isotopes of different elements are used for various purposes. For instance, isotope of cobalt (Co-60) is used in treatment of cancer, isotope of carbon (C-14) is used in carbon dating etc.

★ Examples of isotopes are -

C-12, C-13, C-14

They all have atomic number 6 but mass number as 12, 13 and 14 respectively.

Protium, Deuterium, Tritium

They all are isotopes if hydrogen, having mass numbers as 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
