Verified by Toppr

Isotopes of an element have same the atomic number but different mass numbers or atomic masses.
Now, atomic number of an element = number of protons = number of electrons
Therefore, the electronic configuration is the same for isotopes and as the chemical properties depend upon the electronic configuration, so the chemical properties is same for the istopes.
Option D is correct.
