Atoms of the same element always have the same number of protons but can vary in their number of neutrons—these variations are called isotopes.

Understanding how isotopes of the same element differ, how we name isotopes, and the effect of adding additional neutrons to an atom.

There are three primary isotopes of hydrogen provide an excellent example of isotopes.

Comparing isotopes and ions strengthens your understanding of both.
