The word is contiguous. The 48 contiguous states are the states located on the North America continent that are between Canada and Mexico.

Sometimes they are referred to incorrectly as the 'continental' United States. Continental is incorrect because Alaska is also on North America.

Why do you think iodine-126 is called iodine-126?

Iodine has 53 protons. Iodine 126 has 126 - 53 = 74 neutrons. So iodine 126 is called iodine 16 because it has 53 protons and 74 neutrons. There are other types of iodine, called neuclides of iodine, which have different numbers of neutrons. All of them have 53 protons. So iodine 141 has 53 protons and 141 - 53 = 88 neutrons.
