That makes sense, thanks so much.

My geology instructor was discussing some basic chemistry in today's lecture and claimed that atoms by definition contain an equal number of neutrons and protons and that when the number of neutrons differ it's called an isotope. Now, unless I'm gravely mistaken, the number of neutrons has nothing to do with whether or not something is an atom, otherwise most hydrogen couldn't be classified as being an atom, etcetera. I'm also aware that an isotope is simply an atom of varying numbers of neutrons, regardless of whether or not that number is even with the number of protons in the molecule. This all did make me wonder though, is there a term for an isotope that has an equal number of protons and neutrons?
