Dangers of Radioisotopes: When radiation collides with molecules in living cells it can damage them. If the DNA in the nucleus of a cell is damaged‚ the cell may become cancerous. The cell then goes out of control‚ divides rapidly and causes serious health problems. Radiation warning symbol The greater the dose of radiation a cell gets‚ the greater the chance that the cell will become cancerous. However‚ very high doses of radiation can kill the cell completely. We use this property of radiation

non-active may possess radioactive isotopes having almost identical chemical properties [1]. Radioisotopes are atoms with a nucleus that is seeking a more stable configuration by emitting radiation. Scientists have learned that more radioisotopes could be created by subjecting certain elements to radiation inside a nuclear reactor or bombarding them using a particle accelerator [2]. Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive isotopes‚ or tracers‚ to diagnose and treat

Chemistry Changes Everything: ¹ᶟ¹I - Iodine¹ᶟ¹ An isotope is two or more forms of an element where the nuclei of the element has more neutrons than protons and normally each element only has one stable isotope of the element. Changing the neutrons in the atom also changes the atomic mass but not chemical properties. Radioisotopes are radioactive versions of an isotope where the atom or element has an unstable nuclei therefore emitting radiation. An unstable nuclei is created when there is either

bomb‚ as design was a relatively small part of the budget; rather‚ the money and manpower were needed to produce weapons-grade plutonium and uranium. Gaseous diffusion was‚ at the time‚ the most efficient way of separating the 235 U and 92 238 U isotopes.1 92 The question of why scientists entertained the idea of a uranium bomb at all is an intriguing one. Bohr had already demonstrated that uranium‚ when undergoing slow fission‚ gives off neutrons. When those neutrons strike impure 238 U‚ a new

well as by other means. In the last twenty years‚ for example‚ the use of isotopes (as “tracer” elements) has become a valuable tool for the study of reaction kinetics (in slow reactions). 3. CONCENTRATION DEPENDENCE OF REACTION RATES Normally experimental data of kinetic investigations are records of concentrations of reactants and/or products as a function of time for constant temperatures (taken at various temperatures). Theoretical expressions for reaction rates (involving concentration changes)

The Effect of Different Isotopes on Atomic Mass Introduction: An isotope is a variation of an atom that already exists. An isotope is different from an atom because of the number of neutrons in its nucleus. Finding the amount of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number of a specific atom from its atomic mass. When looking at the periodic table‚ the atomic mass in the top left corner of every box is a decimal. The mass is in decimal format because the number listed
