It is the electrons that determine the chemical behaviour of a particular element. Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. Let's usecarbon as an example. There are three isotopes of carbon found in nature – carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14
♦ Firstly, Isotopes are defined as atoms of the same element having the same atomic number I.e; same number of protons but differnt mass number. Here, mass number varies due to change in the number of neutrons.
Moreover, " CARBON " ( Having atomic number which is equal to 6 ) has 3 Isotopes that exists in nature.
♦ Refer to the attachment for the structure of isotopes of carbon atoms.
