Why isotopes can not separated by chemical reaction



The chemical properties of all the isotopes of an element are similar because they depend upon number of electrons around the nucleus. The number of electrons around the nucleus are same as number of protons inside the nucleus. That is why isotopes can not be separated by chemical methods.
The physical methods are used to separate isotopes. The device used to separate isotopes is called mass spectrograph.
