nuclide /nu·clide/ (noo´klīd) a species of atom characterized by the charge, mass, number, and quantum state of its nucleus, and capable of existing for a measurable lifetime (usually more than 10−10 sec.).

nu·clide (n

)

A type of atom specified by its atomic number, atomic mass, and energy state, such as carbon 14.

nu·clidic (n

-kl

k) adj.

nuclide

[no̅o̅′klīd]

Etymology: L, nucleus, nut kernel

a species of atom characterized by the constitution of its nucleus, in particular by the number of protons and neutrons. Thus, Co-59 and Co-60 are both isotopes of cobalt and are each nuclides. Co-60 is a radionuclide because it undergoes radioactive decay.

nuclide [noo´klīd]

a species of atom characterized by the charge, mass, number, and quantum state of its nucleus, and capable of existing for a measurable lifetime (usually more than 10⁻¹⁰ sec).

nuclide

a species of atom characterized by the charge, mass, number and quantum state of its nucleus, and capable of existing for a measurable lifetime (usually more than 10⁻¹⁰ s).
