Isotopes aren't mutually exclusive of an atom - that is, you don't have to be one or the other (in fact, it is both).
An isotope of an atom is an atom that has an unusual atomic weight, usually caused by having a non-regular amount of neutrons (they don't change the charge, so you can shove as many in an atom as you want, within limits).
found in regions called orbitals
SPECT produces images of the target region by detecting the presence and location of a radioactive isotope. The photon emissions of the radioactive compound containing the isotope can be detected in a manner that is similar to the detection of x rays.
it tells you the amount of electrons the atom has orbitting the atom and the nucleus
Electronegativity
it shows how many protons are present in an atom
An isotope will have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons than a given atom.
Isotope
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
an isotope is defined by an atom with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons
Isotope
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
an isotope.
An isotope is where an atom has a different number of neutrons than what it should be.e.g.Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons = 197 nucleons.But some gold atoms are strange they only have 117 neutrons.They are isotopes.

an isotope
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
