If an element sample has two or more atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons it is called an: A. Isotope.

Isotopes can be defined as two or more forms of a chemical element that are having the same (equal) atomic number (numbers of protons) and electrons but different numbers of neutrons or mass number.

The isotope of an element is denoted by [tex]C^Z_A[/tex]

Where;

  • C is the symbol of the chemical element.
  • A is the atomic mass or mass number (number of nucleons).
  • Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

In conclusion, the isotopes of a chemical element have the same chemical properties as a result of an equal atomic number (numbers of protons) but different physical properties because of an equal atomic weight (mass number).
