Isotopes
They are atoms with the same
number of protons but
different amount of neutons
in it.

Is radioactivity
good or bad?
Radiation is nor good or bad, if used
in a non- invasive way it can save
and cure people from diseases. On
the other hand if radiation is in a
high doses it can damage our bodies
in different ways, even affecting our
DNA

Meteorology
Meteorology a brach that
studies the proces and
fenomemons in the
atmosphere more acurate
the forecasting of weather
