- Isotope | Examples Definition | Britannica
What is an isotope? An isotope is one of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number and position in the periodic table and nearly identical chemical behavior but with different atomic masses and physical properties Every chemical element has one or more isotopes
- Isotope - Wikipedia
Isotopes are distinct nuclear species (or nuclides) of the same chemical element They have the same atomic number (number of protons in their nuclei) and position in the periodic table (and hence belong to the same chemical element), but different nucleon numbers (mass numbers) due to different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei

- ISOTOPE Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The meaning of ISOTOPE is any of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number and nearly identical chemical behavior but with differing atomic mass or mass number and different physical properties
- DOE Explains. . . Isotopes - Department of Energy
Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons The number of protons in a nucleus determines the element’s atomic number on the Periodic Table For example, carbon has six protons and is atomic number 6
- Isotope Basics | NIDC: National Isotope Development Center
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons (i e , atomic number, "Z") but a different number of neutrons, meaning that their mass number, "A", varies Take hydrogen, for example
- What is an Isotope? - ChemTalk
An isotope is an atom that has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons The atom is still considered the same element (still contains the same number of protons) as before but will have a different mass
- What is an isotope? Definition, types and examples
Isotopes are atoms whose atomic nuclei have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons Not all atoms of the same element are identical and each of these varieties corresponds to a different isotope
