The atoms of two or more forms of an element having the same atomic number but different atomic mass numbers are called isotopes.

In other words, the atoms of isotopes will have an equal number of protons (Figure) but differing numbers of neutrons.
For example, isotopes of a Carbon element consist of 6 protons but varying number (6, 7 or 8) of neutrons., And these isotopes are named Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14 respectively.
The chemical properties of different isotopes of an element are identical, but they differ in nuclear stability.
