    Radioactive isotopes (radioisotopes) are isotopes which are atoms of the same element that are chemically identical but vary in the number of neutrons they contain. Radioactive isotopes can participate in reactions just like non radioactive elements. Autoradiography is a technique used to trace the movements of certain substances around plants. An example of this is carbon 14. Carbon 14‚ a radioactive isotope‚is added to the carbon dioxide supply of the plant‚ to study the movement of products

    will be required. 1. Element "E" (not a real symbol for an element)‚ has three naturally occurring isotopes: 60% 228E‚ 25.0% 222E‚ and 15.0% 232E. Use this information to determine the atomic mass of element "E". Atomic Mass = (0.60 x 228g/mol) + (0.25 x 222g/mol) + (0.15 x 232g/mol) = 227.1g/mol (Actinium) 2. Calculate the approximate percent abundance of gallium’s isotopes (69Ga‚ 71Ga) in a sample of gallium metal. Ga atomic mass is 69.72g/mol. Let x be the % of 69Ga as

    as radium‚ thorium or uranium) as now any biological compound can be labelled with radioactive isotopes opening up many possibilities in the study of living systems. Radioisotopes‚ The mass of the atomic nuclei can vary slightly (=isotopes) for a particular element although the number of electrons remains constant and all the isotopes have the same chemical properties. The nuclei of radioactive isotopes are unstable and they disintegrate to produce new atoms and‚ at the same time‚ give off radiations

    Radioactive Isotopes An isotope is one of two or more atoms with the same number of protons‚ and position in the periodic table‚ but different number of neutrons and physical properties. Isotopes have an unstable nucleus that decay suddenly by a release of nuclear electrons and radiation. This essay will be discussing one of the applications and uses of the radioactive isotopes‚ and it will also state one problem that radioactive isotopes can address. The radiation characteristically

ISOTOPES After reading this section you will be able to do the following: * Define an isotope and explain how it is different than an element. The other particle in the nucleus of an atom is the neutron. The neutron has no electrical charge and is said to be neutral. Like protons‚ all neutrons
