Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Soddy worked with Rutherford on the disintegration of radioactive elements.

These, upon a suggestion by Margaret Todd, he called isotopes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Soddy in his lab at the University of Glasgow. In a letter to the editor published in the Dec. 4, 1913, issue of Nature, English radiochemist Frederick Soddy proposed the isotope concept-that elements could have more than one atomic weight. The idea led to his 1921 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
