Isotope what is the meaning

Isotope means that a chemical element that has the same number of protons but neutron number differs.

Explanation:

In isotope, the chemical element differs in neutron and nucleon number. Thus, different isotopes of a single component hold the same place in the periodic table.

Within the atom's nucleus, protons are defined as an atomic number that is significantly equal to electrons in a neutral atom. An isotope of a given element has a different mass number. In general, every atomic number has a specific element, but in isotope, an atom may have a wide range of neutrons.
