    Have you tried looking up the definition of isotope in your textbook? It's there...in plain English! :)

    Isotope - atoms of an element (read: same # of protons) that have a different number of neutrons (and therefore mass)

    Ex: Hydrogen-1 has 1 proton and 0 neutrons, while hydrogen-2 has 1 proton and 1 neutron, and hydrogen-3 has 1 proton and 2 neutrons.
