Isotopes are variants of a chemical element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. These differences in neutron count can lead to variations in stability and radioactive properties, making isotopes useful in fields like medicine, archaeology, and nuclear energy.

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. It provides insights into past human behavior, cultural evolution, and historical events, enabling a deeper understanding of how societies have developed over time.

Nuclear energy is produced through nuclear reactions, primarily using uranium or plutonium in a process called nuclear fission, which releases a significant amount of energy by splitting atomic nuclei. It is a low-carbon energy source that can generate large amounts of electricity but poses challenges related to radioactive waste disposal and nuclear safety.
