Similar chemical properties but different physical properties

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Isotopes are atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.Since chemical properties depend on the electronic configuration (which is identical for isotopes),they exhibit similar chemical properties.However,physical properties depend on the mass of the nucleus,which differs due to the different number of neutrons,leading to different physical properties.
