Chemical properties of isotopes
-
- must be same
- must be different
- need not be same
- need not be different
- must be same
Correct Option: A
Isotopes of an element have similar chemical properties as they have the same number of electrons as an atom of that element. The electron arrangement is the same owing to same chemical properties. However, they have different numbers of neutrons, which affects the mass number. Mass number determines the physical properties such as boiling/melting/density etc.
