We extend some notions of bounded linear operators to some unbounded linear operators. Let \(\mathcal H\) be a complex separable Hilbert space and let \(B({\mathcal H})\) denote the algebra of bounded linear operators. A closed densely defined linear operator \(S\) in \(\mathcal H\), with domain \(\text{dom }S\), is called subnormal if there is a Hilbert space \(\mathcal K\) containing \(\mathcal H\) and a normal operator \(N\) in \(\mathcal K\) (i.e., \(N^* N= NN^*\)) such that \(\text{dom }S\subseteq \text{dom }N\) and \(Sf= Nf\) for \(f\in \text{dom }S\). We will show that the Radjavi and Rosenthal theorem holds for some unbounded subnormal operators; if \(S_ 1\) and \(S_ 2\) are unbounded subnormal operators on \(\mathcal H\) with \(\text{dom }S_ 1= \text{dom }S^*_ 1\) and \(\text{dom }S_ 2= \text{dom }S^*_ 2\) and \(A\in B({\mathcal H})\) is injective, has dense range and \(S_ 1 A\supseteq AS^*_ 2\), then \(S_ 1\) and \(S_ 2\) are normal and \(S_ 1\cong S^*_ 2\).
