Filtration is separates solids from liquids
Distillation separates based on boiling point
Chromatography relies on different Billy the components to diffuse through material

Some of protons neutrons
Isotopes
Are two atoms that have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons
Atomic mass
Is a weighted average based on the abundance of each isotope
