The isotopes of an element:
Correct answer: B. Have similar chemical behavior
- A. Cannot be separated at all
- B. Have similar chemical behavior
- C. Occur well separated in nature
- D. Cannot be separated by physical method
Explanation
Chemical properties of all the isotopes of an element are similar, because the chemical properties of an element depend upon the number of electrons around the nucleus. Isotopes of an element have same number of electrons and same number of protons.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
