These different versions of hydrogen are called isotopes. All isotopes of a particular element have the same number of protons, but have a different number of neutrons. If you change the number of neutrons an atom has, you make an isotope of that element.Currently, scientists know of 118 different elements.Some, like gold, silver, copper and carbon, have been known for thousands of years.f you change the number of neutrons an atom has, you make an isotope of that element.

How does radioactive decay work? If an isotope (forms of chemical elements that differ in the number of neutrons in their atomic nuclei) is radioacitve, it will break down naturally into a lighter element called a decay product. This process occurs at a predictable rate and can be used to determine how old an object is.
