Which subatomic particles differ in number for two isotopes of the same element, and which subatomic particles will stay consistent between two isotopes of the same element? explain how you know.

Number of protons and electrons stay constant

Number of neutrons Differs

Explanation:

Isotopes are the different kinds of same element. Now, as we know quite well that an element can only have one atomic number, this means that the proton number is irrespective of the type of atom

Of the element. The proton number is the identity of the element.

As we know that the atom is electrically neutral, it means the number of electrons will always stay the same too.

Since isotopes are not alike in every respect, the number of neutrons differ. This means they have same atomic numbers but different mass numbers.
