Identify isotopes
This high-school Physical Science worksheet challenges students to identify isotopes within the context of atomic structure, applying their understanding of atomic number, mass number, and neutron count. Teachers can use it as a structured practice activity after introducing isotope notation, or as a checkpoint assessment within the atomic structure unit. The hard difficulty level pushes students to work carefully with nuclear data and atomic symbols.
Learning objectives
- Identify isotopes of an element by comparing atomic and mass numbers
- Explain the relationship between proton count, neutron count, and isotope identity
- Interpret atomic notation to distinguish between different isotopes of the same element
