Carbon-12 isotope is used to define the atomic mass unit, which is equal to 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
The atomic number of an isotope is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This number is unique to each element and defines its identity on the periodic table. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, regardless of the number of neutrons in its nucleus in different isotopes.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
The process in which one isotope changes to another isotope is called radioactive decay. During this process, the unstable nucleus of an isotope emits radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays to transform into a more stable isotope. The rate at which radioactive decay occurs is measured by the isotope's half-life.
The parent isotope is the original radioactive isotope that undergoes decay to form the daughter isotope. The daughter isotope is the stable isotope that is formed as a result of the radioactive decay of the parent isotope.
The mass number is the total weight of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Carbon-12 isotope is used to define the atomic mass unit, which is equal to 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
Isotopes of one particular element differ only in their number of neutrons in nucleus.
An isotope of nitrogen will always have 7 protons, as this defines the element. However, it can have a different number of neutrons, thus changing the mass number of the isotope. The number of electrons in an isotope is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.
Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have
The atomic number of iodine is 53 so there are 53 protons in the nucleus, irrespective of which isotope you are considering. 53 is the atomic number and defines iodine.
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
The atomic number of an isotope is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This number is unique to each element and defines its identity on the periodic table. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, regardless of the number of neutrons in its nucleus in different isotopes.
The stable isotope formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope is called a daughter isotope. This process is known as radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope transforms into a stable daughter isotope through the emission of particles or energy.

The most common isotope of silicon is the isotope 28Si: 92,23 %.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
