# Wikipedia Isotopes vs Nuclear Fission Products Binary Classification
This dataset is derived from the English Wikipedia articles and is designed for binary text classification tasks in the field of nuclear chemistry and physics. The dataset is divided into two classes based on the thematic content of the articles:

- **Isotopes:** This class includes articles that focus on isotopes, which are variants of a particular chemical element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Topics may cover the properties, applications, and significance of various isotopes in fields such as medicine, archaeology, and nuclear energy.

- **Nuclear Fission Products:** This class comprises articles related to:

  - **Fission Products:** Articles that discuss the fragments left after a nucleus undergoes fission, including a variety of isotopes of different elements. These products are typically radioactive and play a significant role in nuclear reactor operation and nuclear waste management.
  - **Nuclear Fission:** Articles that cover the process by which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy. This process is fundamental to the operation of nuclear reactors and the principles behind nuclear weapons.
