Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Carbon - 14 has the same number of protons as carbon - 12 (which is the most common carbon isotope), but a different number of neutrons. An isobar is an atom with the same mass number but different atomic number. An allele is related to genetics (a variant form of a gene). An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal and another element. So, Carbon - 14 is an isotope.
