Best Answer

An isotope is an atom of a given element with a different mass. this means it must have a different number of neutrons, as changing the amount of protons would change the element. in short, an isotope is an atom with a special number of neutrons.

eg.

normal hydrogen-

1

H

1

deuterium (hydrogen with a neutron)

2

H

1
