Isotope means an element with a different number of neutrons, however the number of protons and electrons of the atom remains the same.
Simply, different neutron numbers of the same element.
An unstable element that releases radiation as it breaks down.
Fissile means that an isotope is capable of supporting a sustained nuclear chain reaction.
The amount of an isotope of an element that exists in nature, usually expressed as a percentage of the total amount of all isotopes of the element.
A nuclear reaction between an uranium isotope (e.g. uranium 238) and deuterons.
It is the neutron that makes changes in atomic nuclei to change them from one isotope to another. For any given element, that element will have a fixed number of protons. It is, after all, the number of protons that determine the elemental identity. But the number of neutrons in a given element can vary, and we use the term isotope to talk about which particular atom we're investigating. That is, we apply the term isotope to speak to an atom of a given element with a certain number of neutrons in its nucleus.
If you divide the number of atoms of a single isotope by the total number of atoms, you get the ratio of that isotope. This tells you how common/uncommon that isotope is.

It is the 35th isotope of Bromine
A nuclear reaction between an uranium isotope (e.g. uranium 238) and deuterons.
The word substance is used in chemistry to describe elements or compounds. It is used because when dealing with an unknown substance, it is important to not assign either name to it.
