Solution

The correct statement about the isotopes of an element is C. They have the same chemical properties.

Here's why:

A. They have the same mass number - This is incorrect. Isotopes of the same element have different mass numbers due to the different number of neutrons in their nuclei.

B. They have a different atomic number - This is incorrect. Isotopes of the same element have the same atomic number because they have the same number of protons.

C. They have the same chemical properties - This is correct. Isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties because they have the same number of electrons, which are responsible for an element's chemical behavior.

D. They are located in different places in the periodic table - This is incorrect. Isotopes of the same element are not located in different places on the periodic table. They are variants of the same element and thus occupy the same position on the periodic table.
