What is the reason for the identical chemical properties of all the isotopes of an element? Explain with the help of an example.

The reason for the identical chemical properties of all the isotopes of an element is, all the isotopes of an element have identical atomic configuration containing same number of valence electrons.

For example: Cl-35 and Cl-37, show identical chemical properties as they have same no. of 7 valence electrons.
