Atoms have different isotopes based on the number of neutrons they possess from "summary" of Atoms Under the Floorboards by Chris Woodford
Isotopes are variations of atoms that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Neutrons are one of the three main particles that make up an atom, along with protons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number, which in turn determines the element to which the atom belongs.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon atoms always have six protons, but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon, with six protons and six neutrons. However, there is also carbon-13, with six protons and seven neutrons, and carbon-14, with six protons and eight neutrons.
The presence of diff...
