An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
Pluck the neutron out with tweasers :)
daughter isotope
Another isotope is produced.
For example a thorium isotope is Th-231 or 23190 Th.
This isotope is lead-206.
Ytterbium is a naturally occuring rare earth element. However, an isotope of Ytterbium (Ytterbium-169) is an artificially produced isotope.

Th-234
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
This isotope does not occur in the environment and thus must be produced synthetically.
This isotope is lead-206.
Ytterbium is a naturally occuring rare earth element. However, an isotope of Ytterbium (Ytterbium-169) is an artificially produced isotope.
Beryllium-9 is a stable isotope.
This is the isotope erbium-167.
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different isotope.
Iodine-131 is not natural, matter of fact it is a synthetically produced isotope (im doing this for my science assignment aswell)
