Hello!

Isotopes are variants of an element that have a different number of neutrons. Essentially, their only different is that their weight varies from the original element.

Therefore, they are similar in that they have the same number of protons, same number of electrons, and overall, the properties (apart from weight) are the same.

Hope this helped!
