The Physical Properties of the Isotopes of an Element are Different
The physical properties of an element depend on the mass of the atoms. Now,due to the presence of different number of neutrons, the masses of all the isotopes of an element are slightly different.Since the masses of the isotopes of an element are slightly different, therefore, the physical properties of the isotopes of an element are slightly different.Thus, the various isotopes of an element can have slightly different physical properties such as densities, melting points and boiling points, etc.(because all these physical properties depend on the masses of the isotopes). For example,the two isotopes of chlorine, Cl and math>= 3717Cl have slightly different physical properties because they have slightly different atomic masses of 35 u and 37 u, respectively.
