as isotopes have the same atomic number , they will have the same position in the periodic table.

Isotopes don't have special positions in the periodic table.
The periodic table is arranged by the atomic numbers of elements. Since isotopes have the same atomic number (but different atomic masses) we cannot place them in different positions at the periodic table.

Isotopes have the same atomic number, but different atomic masses.
In a periodic table, the elements are arranged according to their atomic numbers.
Since all the isotopes of a given element have the same atomic number, they all occupy the same position in the periodic table.

The modern periodic table is prepared considering the atomic numbers of the elements. Thus, isotopes must have the same position. Although they have the same chemical properties. (Physical properties are slightly different)

Since an isotope has the same electronic structure as the main element, its position in periodic table will be same as the main element. For example, Hydrogen and Deuterium (Heavy Hydrogen) will both the listed as No. 1 since both have only 1 electron. U 235, U 233 and U238 will all appear together as U.
