The term “isotope” mainly refers to the variation in the atomic mass or weight of an element.
It is also defined as variants of a particular element where these variants will have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons in the atom.
When we look at carbon it also has three isotopes namely Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14. The numbers 12, 13, and 14 are the isotopes’ atomic masses. Here, Carbon-12 is a stable isotope whereas carbon-14 is mostly a radioactive isotope.
