Understanding Isotopes

This video from Tadashi Science explains isotopes, which are variations of the same element with different masses due to differing numbers of neutrons. It covers the calculation of average atomic mass and provides examples using sodium and carbon isotopes. The video also highlights prerequisite concepts such as atom structure and element notation.
