Isotope
Isotopes are distinct nuclear species (or ''nuclides'') of the same chemical element. They have the same atomic number (number of protons in their Atomic nucleus, nuclei) and position in the periodic table (and hence belong to the same chemical element), but different nucleon numbers (mass numbers) due to different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. While all isotopes of a given element have similar chemical properties, they have different atomic masses and physical properties. The term isotope is derived from the Greek roots isos (wikt:ἴσος, ἴσος "equal") and topos (wikt:τόπος, τόπος "place"), meaning "the same place"; thus, the meaning behind the name is that different isotopes of a single element occupy the same position on the periodic table. It was coined by Scottish doctor and writer Margaret Todd (doctor), Margaret Todd in a 1913 suggestion to the British chemist Frederick Soddy, who popularized the term. The number of protons within the atomic nuc ...

Isotopy (other)
Isotopy may refer to: Mathematics * Homotopy#Isotopy, a continuous path of homeomorphisms connecting two given homeomorphisms is an isotopy of the two given homeomorphisms in homotopy *Regular isotopy of a link diagram, an equivalence relation in knot theory *Ambient isotopy (or h-isotopy), two subsets of a fixed topological space are ambient isotopic if there is a homeomorphism, isotopic to the identity map of the ambient space, which carries one subset to the other *Isotopy of quasigroups. See Quasigroup#Homotopy and isotopy. * Isotopy of loops, a triple of maps with certain properties. *Isotopy of an algebra In mathematics, an isotopy from a possibly non-associative algebra ''A'' to another is a triple of bijective linear maps such that if then . This is similar to the definition of an isotopy of loops, except that it must also preserve the linear st ..., a triple of maps with certain properties. Semiotics * Isotopy, a repetition of a basic meaning-trait (seme); the dir ...
