Almost all elements on the periodic table have at least two different natural isotopes. Many elements have synthetic isotopic forms that have been made by nuclear chemists and/or physicists. Chemically, isotopes appear to be the same. For example, the two most abundant forms of uranium look physically the same and react to other materials in a similar manner.
