Question

What things would 2 isotopes of the same elements have in common; and how are isotopes different from ions

Answer 1

Isotopes of same element have same atomic number but diffrent mass nuber thus isotope of element have same atomic nuber is the commen thing.

for example element nitrogen have two isotopes ¹⁴₇N and ¹⁵₇N contain atomic number 7 is commen but mass nubber 14 and 15 is diffrent

isotope of same element have same number of proton but diffrent nuber of neutron thus, nuber of proton is commen thing

for example elment carbon have three isotopes ¹²₆C , ¹³₆C and ¹⁴₆C contain 6 number of proton but 6,7 and 8 nuber of neutron.

ion concept is related to elctronic structure of element and isotope concept is related to nuclear structure of element.

same isotope of same elment may have diffrent ion.

for example isotope of oxygen ¹⁶₈O may have atom O or ion O^2-

same isotope of same elment contain dame nuber of proton and neutron but diffrent number of electron

for example isotope of oxygen ¹⁶₈O may have atom O or ion O^2- atom O contain 8 electron and ion O^2- contain 10

electron.
