When the numbers of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom are specified(i. e., both Z and A) the word nuclide sometimes replaces the word atom. For example, "The Chart of Nuclides" is a chart setting out the properties of each distinct atomic type(all the isotopes of each element).

Lorsqu'on précise le nombre de nucléons dans le noyau des atomes (c.-à-d. Z et A) on utilise parfois le mot nucléide. Par exemple, le «tableau des nucléides» illustre les propriétés de chaque type d'atomes distincts (tous les isotopes de chaque élément).
