ASTRONOMY UNBOUND
Isotopes
One of two (or more) atoms of the same element which only differ in the number of neutrons found within the atomic nucleus ; e.g. 1H , 2D and 3T .

Physical Geography Terms and Meanings
Isotope
Form of an element where the number of neutrons in its atomic nucleus is different than the number of protons.

Solar Physics Glossary
Isotope
One of two or more atoms having the same number of protons in its nucleus , but a different number of neutrons and, therefore, a different mass.

General Chemistry Glossary
isotope (isotopic; isotopy)
Compare with isomer , allotrope , isobar , and isotone .Atoms or ions of an element with different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nucleus . Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass number . Isotopes have very similar chemical properties but sometimes differ greatly in nuclear stability.

Isotope
A variation of an element that has the same atomic number of protons but a different weight because of the number of neutrons. Various isotopes of the same element may have different radioactive behaviors, some are highly unstable..

Isotope Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Isotope
Isotopes are any of the several different forms of an element each having different atomic mass (mass number). Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. Therefore, isotopes have different mass numbers, which give the total number of nucleons—the number of protons plus neutrons.
