Isotoopeille

Isotoopeille is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a non-standard word. The closest commonly recognized scientific term is "isotopes". Isotopes are variations of a particular chemical element. All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei, which defines the element's atomic number. However, they differ in the number of neutrons. This difference in neutron number means that isotopes of the same element have different atomic masses. For example, carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 are all isotopes of carbon. They all have six protons, but carbon-12 has six neutrons, carbon-13 has seven neutrons, and carbon-14 has eight neutrons. This variation in neutron number can affect the stability of the nucleus. Some isotopes are stable, while others are unstable and undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation. These radioactive isotopes, also known as radioisotopes, have important applications in medicine, industry, and scientific research, such as in medical imaging and carbon dating. The relative abundance of different isotopes of an element can vary naturally in different sources.
