How do you use Isotope in a sentence? See 10+ example sentences showing how this word appears in different contexts, including synonyms like atom, plus the exact meaning.
Isotope meaning
Any of two or more forms of an element where the atoms have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons within their nuclei. Thus, isotopes have the same atomic number but a different mass number.
