HEYA MATE, HERE IS UR ANSWER ______________________
Isotopes are the atoms of the same element which have same atomic number but different mass numbers.
The extra mass is gained because of more neutrons .
For example, For Carbon we have 2 isotopes---
Carbon -12
Carbon -14
The atomic number of both the atoms is same ie 6 but the mass number is different -12and 14.
In both these
Carbon -12 Has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
Which gives
mass=6+6=12u
Carbon-14has 6 protons and 8 neutrons
Mass =6+8=14u
