Nuclide: A general term that refers to any known isotope, either stable or unstable, of any element. Whereas a single element can have isotopes, when referring to the isotopes of more than one element, the proper term is nuclide.
Nuclide
A general term referring to all known isotopes, both stable (~279) and unstable (~5000), of the chemical elements.

radionuclide An unstable nuclide. Any man-made or natural element that emits radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles or as gamma rays.
radionuclide: A radionuclide is a radioactive element, man-made or from natural sources, with a specific atomic weight.
Radionuclide
Any radioactive isotope (form) of any element.

radionuclide : Any man-made or natural element which emits radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles, or as gamma rays.
A nuclide describes an Atom who's properties are a function of the number of Protons and Neutrons contained in the Nucleus . A nuclide does not have to be Radioactive , if it is then its known as a Radionuclide .
