Answer:

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but that have a different number of neutrons. Since the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons, we can also say that isotopes are elements with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

The atomic masses of most elements are fractional because they exist as a mixture of isotopes of different masses. Most elements occur as a mixture of isotopes of different masses. The fractional atomic masses arise because of this mixture. ... mass = total mass of all atoms/number of atoms.

Radioactive isotopes have many useful applications. In medicine, for example, cobalt-60 is extensively employed as a radiation source to arrest the development of cancer. Other radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for diagnostic purposes as well as in research on metabolic processes.
