What are the isotopes?, you must give me a clear answer, good luck!?
Answer:
Isotopes are variations of the same atom where the numbers of protons and electrons are constant and chemical reactions with other elements are identical but the number of neutrons (and possibly stability) differ causing slight differences in weight. Heavy water is actually heavier than light water.
In an isotope of an element, proton count is the same but the neutron counts can vary.
What that Mike dude said or the Springfield Isotopes from the Simpsons. (The baseball team)
Isotopes are any of the several different forms of an element each having different atomic mass (mass number). Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. Therefore, isotopes have different mass numbers, which give the total number of nucleons—the number of protons plus neutrons.
Eg: 3He, 12C, 13C and 238U
isotopes are those elements in which the atomic mass varies but there is no change in atomic no.
isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons but with the same proton number.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element which have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons. That is they have the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
e.g Three isotopes of Hydrogen are:
-protium: atomic number= 1; mass number=1p + 0n= 1
-deuterium: atomic number = 1; mass number= 1p+1n= 2
-tritium: atomic number= 1; mass number=1p + 2n =3
NB: In each the number of the electrons is the same (i.e 1)
isotopes are atoms of same elements which have same no of protons [atomic no] but different no of neutrons [mass no]
like, isotopes of hydrogen are
protium
deuterium
tritium
