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. For example, carbon has six protons and is atomic number 6.
Detailed explanation-2: -Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.
Detailed explanation-3: -All of these have same atomic number, but different mass number, hence, different number of neutrons.
Detailed explanation-4: -Neutrons are all identical to each other, just as protons are. Atoms of a particular element must have the same number of protons but can have different numbers of neutrons.
Detailed explanation-5: -Isotopes have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons they contain.
