 Describe an isotope Differentiate the types of isotopes The positively charged particle of the atom. The uncharged particle of the atom.  Isotope variants of an element are still found in the same location in the periodic table of elements. Chemist Frederick Soddy  Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.  Stable Isotopes Unstable Isotopes  most abundant in nature.
