In different Isotopes what characteristics are differ

CONCEPT:

• Isotopes: It is defined as the atoms which have the same number of protons but having different neutrons.
  • Isotopes of the elements having different atomic masses (greater or lesser).
  • Mass number(A) = Number of protons (Z) + Number of neutrons (N)
  • It is represented by:

• Number of protons = Atomic number of an element.
• Nuclei = neutron + proton
• Example – ₂⁴ He, here helium having 2 protons and 2 neutrons gives mass number 4.
• ₁₇³⁵ Cl and ₁₇³⁷ Cl, here we have chlorines of having two masses 35 and 37.
• Chlorine having mass 35 having 18 neutrons while the other is having 20.

EXPLANATION:

• The isotopes having the same number of protons.
• Since, the number of neutrons change their masses change.
• So, Isotopes having different masses.
