Detailed explanation-1: -Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in a nucleus determines the element’s atomic number on the Periodic Table.

Detailed explanation-2: -An isotope is one of two or more forms of the same chemical element. Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number, but a different number of neutrons giving each elemental isotope a different atomic weight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Atoms from two different elements may have the same number of neutrons, but never the same number of protons. The number of protons is unique to the element and represents the atomic number.

Detailed explanation-4: -Different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties because they have the same numbers of protons and electrons.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons. Isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number, meaning they make up the same element, but they have different numbers of neutrons. Protons are the positively charged particles that reside in the nucleus of an atom.
