A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable.
In the case of iodine-131 (131 I), the atomic number Z (number of protons) is 53 and number of neutrons is 78. So the total mass number is 131. An unstable nuclide tries to attain stability through radioactive decay releasing alpha, beta and gamma rays. In medicine, this radiation is used for diagnosis and treatment.
