dineutron and
tetraneutron may not qualify as isotopes; isn't there a requirement that the thing stay around long enough to be measured? I guess not. We have
Beryllium-8, which is about as stable as the
dineutron.
trineutron and
pentaneutron almost certainly do not qualify as isotopes; the comment on them in
neutronium says that they are names for things which do not exist.
Also, shouldn't the names placed in this category match those of isotopes of elements; hence
