4. what an isotope is? An isotope is a variant of a chemical element that has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in its nucleus. This difference in neutron count gives isotopes distinct atomic masses and sometimes unique physical or radioactive properties.

6. What Makes Isotopes Different? Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass. This variation can lead to differences in stability, radioactivity, and how they behave in chemical or biological processes.

7. What are the isotopes of carbon? - - + +

8. What are the isotopes of carbon? Carbon has three naturally occurring isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. While they all have six protons, they differ in the number of neutrons, which affects their mass and stability—carbon-14, for example, is radioactive and used in dating ancient artifacts.

10. Then, what stays the same between them? - - + +

11. What stays the same between isotopes of the same element is the number of protons in their nuclei, which defines the element itself. This means carbon isotopes all have six protons, regardless of how many neutrons they contain. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

12. What Changes? - - + +

13. What changes between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in their nuclei, which affects their atomic mass. This difference can also influence their stability, making some isotopes radioactive while others are stable. . Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

14. Why Are Isotopes Important? - - + +

15. Isotopes are important because they help scientists understand atomic structure, trace chemical pathways, and date ancient materials like fossils and artifacts. In medicine, radioactive isotopes are used in diagnostic imaging (like PET scans) and targeted treatments—for example, iodine-131 treats thyroid disorders, while technetium-99m is used in heart and bone scans
