- Marine Isotope ChemistryThe objective of this course is to develop an understanding of principles of marine isotope geochemistry, its systematics, and its application to the study of the behavior and history of the oceans within the earth system. The emphasis is on developing the underlying concepts and theory as well as proficiency in working with practical isotope systems. The course is divided into four sections: nuclear systematics, Earth formation and evolution, stable isotopes, and applications to the ocean system.
- Khan Academy Isotopes | Atomic structure and propertiesIsotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Because they contain different numbers of neutrons, isotopes have different atomic masses. The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the weighted average mass of the element's naturally occurring isotopes.
- What are Isotopes? - The Organic Chemistry TutorThis chemistry video tutorial answers the question - what are isotopes? Isotopes are substances that are composed of the same element but consist of different mass numbers and number of neutrons. They share the same atomic number and therefore the same number of protons. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems associated with isotopes and writing the atomic symbol for it.
