Atomic Theory Vocabulary
Two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and therefore differ in relative atomic mass.

What is Uranium-235?
The time taken for the radioactivity of an isotope to fall to half its original value
What is half-life?
