Isotopes Examples



Hydrogen is the element!, in that element there are various types of isotopes as protium, deuterium and tritium all are hydrogen elements. Think like this Human is the Element and Male and Female are isotopes. 5 comments (37 votes). Atoms that have an equal number of protons but a different number of neutrons and protons are called isotopes. Give some examples of stable isotopes. Vanadium, carbon, calcium, potassium are stable isotopes. The unstable isotopes emit what rays?

Isotopes Examples Class 10

  • Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei.
  • Isotopes of an element will have the same Atomic Number (Z) but a different Mass Number (A).

    ⚛ An unstable isotope undergoes radioactive (or nuclear) decay.
    Unstable isotopes are also known as radioisotopes or radionucleides
