Isotope Basics for Students

The document provides information about isotopes including: - An isotope is an atom of an element with a specific number of neutrons. - The number next to an isotope name signifies the total number of protons and neutrons. - Isotopes of the same element can be distinguished by their mass, determined by the number of neutrons. The document then lists several isotopes and their number of protons, neutrons, and electrons and asks the reader to fill in missing information for additional isotopes.
