Answer:
there is no position of isotopes in Mendeleev's periodic table as the mendelevs periodic table states that the physical and chemical property of an element is the periodic function of its atomic mass so as the isotopes have different mass so they cannot be placed in mendeleev period, but in modern periodic table they are placed according to the atomic number..as they have same amount of numbers they are placed accordingly.
Explanation:
Position of isotopes in the Mendeleev's and the modern periodic table: Isotopes: Isotopes are the atoms having the same atomic number but different atomic masses. ... However, isotopes have not been given separate places in the periodic table because of their similar properties.
