Question

  1. is the following sentence true or false? isotopes of oxygen have different chemical properties.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand isotopes

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Step2: Analyze chemical properties

Chemical properties of an element are mainly determined by the number of electrons (which is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom). Since isotopes of oxygen have the same number of protons (and thus the same number of electrons in neutral state), their chemical properties are similar.

Answer:

False
