Is cell food heavy water?
No. Heavy water refers to water formed with a majority of the heavier isotopes of hydrogen, which are very radioactive; this water can be used to transport such isotopes more easily. Cells use many different chemicals to get their energy, but water is a product of the process, not an "ingredient".
How do isotopes create electricity?
Isotopes are used to create energy in at least two ways: # The isotopes are allowed to heat water into steam, and the steam turns a generator. # The isotopes are allowed to heat one end of a "thermopile", and the thermopile powers electronics. (This is how the deep space probes get their power.)
What is isotope oxygen is?
10 unstable isotopes
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Do isotopes of an elements form similar compounds with atoms of other elements?
Absolutely yes, all isotopes of an element are chemically identical in the compounds they form as the chemistry is determined by the configuration of the electrons in the outer shell, which is completely unaffected by the number of neutrons inside the nucleus.What is affected in chemistry by different isotopes is reaction rates: compounds containing heavier isotopes react slower than compounds containing lighter isotopes. The most extreme case of this is heavy water, which reacts so slowly compared to ordinary water that it inhibits many reactions necessary for life!
What is densed water?
Water made with either of the two isotopes of Hydrogen would be denser than ordinary water. Deuterium and Tritium are the two isotopes names. Mass 2 and 3 respectively where Hydrogen is 1.

How heavy water different from normal water?
Heavy water is about 11% denser than ordinary water, due to enriching of its deuterium isotopes.
What are atoms called if they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?
An atom of an element having the same number of protons (as well as electrons) but a different number of neutrons is known as an isotope. Isotopes are often used in the nuclear power industry. An example of an industry is "heavy water" or Deuterium Oxide. It is water but with and isotope of hydrogen that has 2 extra neutrons. The isotope is called Deuterium, and heavy water is also sometimes known as D2O.
What is isotope oxygen is?
10 unstable isotopes
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.

What is the isotopes in nobeluim?
The answer for isotopes is 259
Are most of the periodic table isotopes?
No most of them are not isotopes. Few elements exist as isotopes.
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.
