An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. Some common isotopes are Carbon 13, Chlorine 35 and chlorine 37. Also an isotope contains the same number of protons in the nucleus, therefore meaning its atomic number is the same. But on the other hand its mass number is different.
Isotopes are [[Atom|atoms]] containing the same number of [[Protons|protons]] and [[Electrons|electrons]] but a different number of [[Neutron|neutrons]]. Some common isotopes are [[Chlorine|chlorine]] 35, [[Chlorine|chlorine]] 37 and Hydrogen:-1,2 and 3. Chlorines average mass is calculated; Cl 35 has 75% and cl 37 has 25% of it's mass.

Isotopes are atoms containing the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons. Some common isotopes are chlorine 35, chlorine 37 and Hydrogen:-1,2 and 3. Chlorines average mass is calculated; Cl 35 has 75% and cl 37 has 25% of it's mass.

Chlorines Ar of 35.5, which is calculated by (75 x 35) + (25 x37)/100 = 35.3
