Why do isotopes have different physical properties?

Open in App

Solution

Isotopes
Isotopes are the atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Properties of Isotopes
Because of variation in the mass of isotopes, they possess different physical properties.
This is due to the presence of a different number of neutrons in different isotopes.
On the other hand, the chemical properties of isotopes are almost the same.
