Isotopes are atoms of the same element but with a different number of neutrons.
Example for the isotope 228 of uranium:
- uranium-228
- U-228
-- 22892U

What determines the different isotopes of an atom?
The isotopes of an atom are defined by the number of neutrons their nuclei have for their fixed number of protons. However, I wouldn't say that neutrons are solely responsible for the presence of isotopes because isotopes also depend on the existence of many other particles such as protons, quarks and gluons. Neutrons certainly are responsible for the way we label isotopes, though.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What are some of the roles of isotopes?
- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.

How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.

What does it mean of fusionable isotopes?
Fusionable isotopes refer to the larger isotopes that are usually relatively stable.
All isotopes of the actinide series are what?
All the actinides isotopes are radioactive; and the majority are artificial isotopes.

What are isotopes considered radioactive?
Not all isotopes are radioactive; the radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit radiations.
