We know that Isotopes have same atomic number.
So, they have same valency also.
Due to same valency Isotopes show similar chemical properties.
Two Uses of Isotopes are:
1) Isotope of Iodine is used in treatment of Goitre.
2) Isotope of Cobalt in used in treatment of Cancer.
So, they have same valency also.
Due to same valency Isotopes show similar chemical properties.

2) Isotope of Cobalt in used in treatment of Cancer.

The isotopes of an element have same atomic number ( Z ) i.e. the same number of electrons and same number of protons . Hence , they have identical chemical properties .
2) Isotopes of an element have same number of valence electrons and hence same valency .
USES OF ISOTOPES
1) Isotopes of hydrogen , oxygen , carbon are used to study the mechanisms of organic reactions .
2) Some radioactive isotopes are used for the treatment of cancer and other diseases .
