Understanding Isotopes

The video tutorial explains isotopes, which are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers. It provides examples using sodium and carbon isotopes, detailing how to calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. The tutorial concludes with a message about the importance of kindness.
