An isotope is an element that has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons, whereas a nuclide is a specifically defined isotope.
Quite literally, they refer to the exact same atom, but the difference lies in the definition. Nuclides are defined by many different aspects, such as half life, mode of decay, percent abundance, and so on. The Chart of the Nuclides is a very extensive reference for the characteristics of over 3000 different isotopes.
The term isotope is merely a way of differentiating between an atom that is the same element (same number of protons) but has varying numbers of neutrons.

What is the nucleus of an isotope with a certain atomic mass and number?
Nuclide
The nuclear fusion of a helium-3 nucleus and nuclide X releases an alpha particle and a positron Identify nuclide X?
It is Deuterium an isotope of hydrogen.
Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
