Question

would you expect the first ionization enthalpies for 2 isotopes of the same element to be same or different justify your answer ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since the isotopes of same element have the same atomic number, they have the same number of electrons (and protons) and differ only in the number of neutrons. Hence the ionisation energy for two isotopes of an element should be same.

Answer 2

Since the isotopes of same element have the same atomic numbers , they have the same no. of electrons amd protons and differ only in the no. of neutrons ....
