What are the characteristics of isotopes ?
Answers
Answer:
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutron. Since they have different numbers of neutrons, this affects the mass number. Mass number determines the physical properties such as boiling/melting/density etc.

Answer:
The characteristics of isotopes are as follows:
(1) These are the atoms of the same element.
(2) They have same atomic number but different mass numbers,
(3) They have same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons.
(4) They have similar physical and chemical properties except the properties related to the nucleus.
(5) They occupy same position in the periodic table.
6)They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses.
