Answer:

Below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotopes are elements with a similar chemical makeup and the same atomic number, but a different atomic mass and number of neutrons . An example of this would be carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14. Three isotopes of the element carbon that have the same 6 protons but have a different neutron count. A simple way to explain isotopes would be to say that they are just different "versions" of an element.

Hope this helps ya! Best of luck <3
