Practice with Isotopes

Atoms of the same element (i.e., that have the same atomic number) but that have different number of neutrons, and therefore different masses) are called isotopes. The chemical behaviour of isotopes are usually very similar due to their similar electronic structure. Isotopes find many applications in chemistry, biology and medicine due to the nuclear properties. Isotopes are identified by specification of an isotope symbol. This module provides practice determining isotope symbols and deriving from them information about the nuclear composition.
