Question

What is an isotopes? Who discovered it? Compare the isotopes of Carbon?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom. The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos (ἴσος "equal") and topos (τόπος "place"), meaning "the same place"; thus, the meaning behind the name is that different isotopes of a single element occupy the same position on the periodic table. It was coined by a Scottish doctor and writer Margaret Todd in 1913 in a suggestion to chemist Frederick Soddy.

Answer 2

Isotopes are group of element which have same atomic number but have different atomic mass and number of neutrons it was discovered by fedrerick soddy isotopes of carbon are of three type

C12

C13

C14

C12 atom are the most abundant isotope in this C isotopes C12 have 6 proton and 6 neutrons In C13 there are 6 proton and 7 neutrons and in C14 there are 6 proton and 8 neutrons
