neutrons in the nucleus of the element, It can be said that isotopes would have a different mass. Heavier isotopes tend to react more slowly than lighter isotopes of the same element.

Secondly, measurements, in the metric system are derived from natural properties (of water) and relations between measurements. Lastly, the metric system uses no terms for the same meaning, nor does it use multiple units for the…
