Isotope


Variation in the contents of a neutron in the core of the same element. Carbon 12 normally contains 6 neutrons and 6 protons, whereas its much rarer isotope, Carbon 14, has two extra neutrons. Because of the very precise pace of radioactive decay, the exact proportion between the isotopes present in organic matter can teach us a great deal about the time this matter went through.
