Isotopes that are lighter than the stable < sup > 123 </ sup > Sb tend to decay by β < sup >+</ sup > decay, and those that are heavier tend to decay by β < sup >-</ sup > decay, with some exceptions.

Isotopes were then explained as elements with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons within the nucleus.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element ( that is, with the same number of protons in their atomic nucleus ), but having different numbers of neutrons.

Isotopes are distinguished by the atomic mass number ( total protons and neutrons ) for a particular isotope of an element, with this number combined with the pertinent element's symbol.

The least stable is < sup > 138 </ sup > Dy with a half-life of 200 ms. Isotopes that are lighter than the stable isotopes tend to decay primarily by β < sup >+</ sup > decay, while those that are heavier tend to decay by β < sup >−</ sup > decay, with some exceptions.

Isotopes with atomic masses lower than the most abundant stable isotope, < sup > 158 </ sup > Gd, primarily decay via electron capture to Eu ( europium ) isotopes.

" The " Isotopes " name is appropriate, since New Mexico has a number of well-known scientific / military facilities dealing with nuclear technology, such as Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and the Waste Isolation Pilot Project ( WIPP ), as well as hosting the Trinity test.

Isotopes with gaseous precursors solidify on the surface of the particles as they are produced by decay.

Fans of The Simpsons may also recognize Keach's voice in the recurring role of Duff Brewery President, Howard K. Duff VIII, beginning with the 12th season episode, " Hungry, Hungry Homer ", wherein Homer attempts to stop Howard K. Duff from moving the Springfield Isotopes baseball team to Albuquerque by staging a hunger strike.

Isotopes Park was the home of the 2007 Triple-A All-Star Game, with the International League defeating the Pacific Coast League 7-5.

Isotopes Park has a seating capacity of 13, 279, with 11, 154 fixed seats.

He appeared in 38 games for the Isotopes, with a 3-3 record and 6. 99 ERA.

After a brief rehab stint with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes from July 28 to August 17, Mientkiewicz rejoined the Dodgers in September, seeing sporadic action as a pinch hitter down the stretch.

In 94 games with the Isotopes, he hit. 347 with 19 home runs.

He returned to the Isotopes, where he played in 76 games the rest of the season, hitting. 300 with 9 home runs and 46 RBI.

Isotopes with significant branching of decay modes include copper-64, arsenic-74, rhodium-102, indium-112, iodine-126 and holmium-164.

On May 16, he was released by the Mets and he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 10 and was assigned to the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes.

Phillips signed with the Florida Marlins and assigned to the Albuquerque Isotopes, their Triple-A Pacific Coast League affiliate on July 29, 2007.

In 2009, the Isotopes became an affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, reuniting Albuquerque's relationship with the Dodgers.

Isotopes of silver range in relative atomic mass from 93. 943 (< sup > 94 </ sup > Ag ) to 126. 936 (< sup > 127 </ sup > Ag ); the primary decay mode before the most abundant stable isotope, < sup > 107 </ sup > Ag, is electron capture and the primary mode after is beta decay.

* Isotopes: The kinetic isotope effect consists in a different reaction rate for the same molecule if it has different isotopes, usually hydrogen isotopes, because of the mass difference between hydrogen and deuterium.

Isotopes of a chemical element differ only in the mass number.

* Isotopes are nuclides having the same number of protons ; e. g. carbon-12 and carbon-13.

The radioactive but long-lived Ho-166m1 ( see " Isotopes " above ) is used in calibration of gamma ray spectrometers .< ref >

Isotopes of bohrium have also been detected in the decay of heavier elements.

Isotopes of unbinilium are predicted to have alpha decay half-lives of the order of microseconds.

Isotopes which undergo this decay and thereby emit positrons include carbon-11, potassium-40, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15, fluorine-18, and iodine-121.

Isotopes heavier than < sup > 62 </ sup > Ni cannot be formed by nuclear fusion without losing energy.

Isotopes of other elements are not so great a problem as they can be removed by chemical means.

Isotopes of Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen can be purified by chilling these gases or compounds nearly to their liquification temperature in very tall columns ( 200 to 700 feet tall — 70 to 200 meters ).

Isotopes are often preferentially absorbed by biologically active tissue in the body, and can be used to identify tumors or fracture points in bone.

As NASA's first all-atomic powered spacecraft, these used plutonium-238 units developed by Teledyne Isotopes.

A group headed by Ken Young, who is president of Ovations Food Service and also the owner of the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles and the Albuquerque Isotopes, the Triple-A affiliate of the Florida Marlins.

Skinner ), Nuclear Physics ( initially headed by Otto Frisch, later E. Bretscher ), Reactor Physics ( John Dunworth ), Theoretical Physics ( Klaus Fuchs, later Brian Flowers ), Isotopes ( Henry Seligmann ) and Engineering ( Harold Tongue, later Robert Jackson ).

Homer is offered the job as team mascot of the Springfield Isotopes by the team's owner.

When he tries to help Lenny by getting him a refund on his tickets for the Springfield Isotopes, Homer encounters the Isotopes ' owner Howard K. Duff VIII.

After the first pitch Homer, becoming increasingly annoyed by the poor performance of the Isotopes, goes and waits in the car.

Months later, he enters Moe's Tavern and is informed by Lenny and Carl that the Isotopes are in the playoffs, and have, so far, been playing well.

Neither the opening with The Isotopes nor the finale with the rather dire song help this one at all, and frankly, if it wasn't for the superb parody of Village of the Damned, and the kids ' revenge by revealing their family's secrets, it'd sink without trace.

When they sell candy in the hope of becoming batboys at a Springfield Isotopes game, the " Pre-Teen Braves " try to thwart the " Cavalry Kids " by lacing their candy bars with laxatives.

He was signed to a minor league contract by the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 23, 2010 and assigned to the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes.
