Radioactive isotopes are used is:
- medicine, for treatment by irradiation
- medicine, for diagnostic
- in science/technology as tracers
- as source of energy
- as source of ionizing radiations
- in many instruments
- determination of rocks age
etc.

What property of isotopes allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions?

The property of isotopes that allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions is their ability to emit radiation, which can be detected and tracked. By substituting a stable isotope with a radioactive isotope in a molecule, researchers can track the movement and transformation of the molecule during a chemical reaction by measuring the emitted radiation.


What is special about radioactive isotopes?
