State any four general characteristics of isotopes.
General characteristics of an isotope:
1)They all have same no. of valence electrons,
2) Because of same no. of electrons they have identical chemical properties.
2)Due to different no. of neutrons they have different atomic mass
4) They have different physical properties such as boiling point melting point etc.
