Specialty Definitions: Isomer

DomainDefinitions

Aerospace

1. One of two or more nuclides having the same mass number A and atomic number Z, but existing for measurable times in different quantum states with different energies and radioactive properties. The state of lowest energy is the ground state. Those of higher energies are metastable states. To indicate the metastable isomer, the letter m is added to the mass number in the Symbol for the nuclide; thus Br80mCommonly, the isomer of higher energy decays to one with lower energy by the process of isometric transition.2. One of two or more molecules having the same atomic composition and molecular weight, but differing in geometrical configuration. (references)
