What is the difference between radiogenic isotope and stable isotope?

Radiogenic isotopes are formed through the radioactive decay of parent isotopes, while stable isotopes do not undergo radioactive decay. Radiogenic isotopes are used in geochronology to date rocks and minerals, while stable isotopes are used in various fields such as climate science and nutrition studies.

How do radioisotopes of an element differ from other isotopes?

Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes that undergo radioactive decay, emitting particles and/or energy in the process. This distinguishes them from stable isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay. Radioisotopes are often used in medicine, industry, and research for various applications due to their unique properties related to their decay process.


How is a radioactive isotope helpful in medicine?

In medicine isotopes are used for treatments, diagnostics or as tracers.


What are some of the roles of isotopes?

- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.
