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 number of neutrons in the atom's nucleus determines the different isotopes of an atom. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element) but a different number of neutrons. This can result in variations in atomic mass and stability.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as?
they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework
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.
What isotopes of plutonium are natural?
Plutonium has no natural isotopes. All plutonium isotopes are artificially produced through nuclear reactions.
Used to label DNA and protein in experiments?
Fluorescent dyes are commonly used to label DNA and protein in experiments. These dyes emit light when exposed to specific wavelengths of light, allowing for visualization and analysis of the labeled molecules. Additionally, radioactive isotopes can also be used for labeling, but they may pose safety and disposal challenges.

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.
What are the common isotopes of seaborgium?
Seaborgium has 12 isotopes; for the list of isotopes see the link below.
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.
