An isotope is an atom that has an irregular number of neutrons in its nucleus. Since it has the same number of protons as a normal atom, they still have the same chemical properties and are still technically the same thing, but since the atomic weight is different they have slightly different physical properties.

What does it mean if a isotope is fissile?
Fissile means that an isotope is capable of supporting a sustained nuclear chain reaction.
How many protons and neutrons are in damstadium?
The chemical element, Darmstadium, has an atomic number of 110. That means that it has 110 protons in it. It's longest-lived isotope, at 3.7 minutes, is 281bDs. That means that this isotope has 281 - 110 = 171 neutrons in it.
Uranium and radon share the property of radioactivity which means?
It means that the corresponding element (or isotope) is unstable; the atoms will decay eventually.
What does it means if an isotope is fissile?
Fissile isotopes are isotopes of an element that can be split through fission
What does the element description “iron-57” actually mean?
It means that the atom being discussed is an isotope of iron that has a mass number of 57, which means that the atom has 31 neutrons.Added:It is the 3rd most abundant Fe isotope after Fe-56 and -54.
What does it mean if a isotope is fissile?
Fissile means that an isotope is capable of supporting a sustained nuclear chain reaction.
What does it mean when the isotope is fissile?
"Fissile" means "capable of undergoing fission."
In Adam that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is an isotope of what element?
13 protons means it must be aluminum (Al). 15 neutrons means its atomic mass will be 28. This is not aluminum's most abundant isotope, but it is still aluminum.
What does a chain of radioactive decay ends with?
It must obviously end with a stable isotope - for if you get an unstable isotope, that means that it will continue decaying, thus, the chain doesn't end yet.

What does it mean if a isotope is stable?
It means that it does not decay by emitting radioactive paticles.

It means that the atom being discussed is an isotope of iron that has a mass number of 57, which means that the atom has 31 neutrons.Added:It is the 3rd most abundant Fe isotope after Fe-56 and -54.
What is an intrasanitary isotope therapy?
I think you mean intracavitary isotope therapy. It means treatment with radioactive needles, seeds, wires, isotopes placed in body cavity for treatment of cancer
What the difference between radioactivity and half life?
An isotope of a chemical element is an atom that has the same number of protons (this also means this atom has the same atomic number) and electrons, but has a different numbers on neutrons. The isotope is radioactive if it has too many neutrons in the nucleus and because of this the isotope is unstable. The half-life of a radioactive isotope is a time period. When the isotope is at the end of the period it's weight will be the half of the starter weight.
How many electrons are in francium?
The atomic number of francium is 87. This means that it has 87 each of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, but the most common one, Fr-223, has 223 - 87 = 136 neutrons. (The number of neutrons is always the isotope mass number minus the atomic number.)
