Isotopes

Isotopes
  • Isotopes are elements with a greater number of neutrons to protons
  • Changing the number of neutrons does not affect the properties of the element
  • However, changing the number of neutrons does affect the stability of the element
  • The greater number of neutrons to protons, means that the atom is more unstable
  • Unstable elements decay via radioactivity to become more stable
