An isotope is an element’s atom that has the same number of protons and electrons‚ but a different number of neutrons‚ causing the atom to be unstable. With radioisotopes‚ they can occur naturally‚ but most often are formed artificially by altering the atom. Scientists measure the rate of which radioisotopes decay at by using the term half-life. This refers to when one-half of the radioactive material has decayed. When the word radioactive comes
