Relative in a science class? (7)

I believe the answer is:

isotope

(Other definitions for isotope that I've seen before include "Distinct form of an element" , "Oo, spite! (anag.)" , "Type of atom, maybe radioactive" , "Variant element form" , "O, is poet involved in chemical element?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
