Tracers are indicators that can be followed through the steps of a chemical reaction.

ps have fun i did your homework :)
The reason radioactive isotopes can be followed through the steps of a chemical reaction or industrial process is that they give off radiation. A piece of paper will provide protection from alpha radiation.Wiki User

What is isotope and how is a radioactive isotope differ?
Isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons.A radioactive isotope is unstable and can emit nuclear radiations.
What is a stable isotope?
Stable isotopes are chemical isotopes that are not radioactive, meaning that they do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay.
What is radio-chemicals?
Radiochemicals are chemical compounds containing a radioactive isotope.
Is an isotope sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound not an isotope. But:- natural sodium contain the rare radioactive isotope 22Na and the stable isotope 23Na- natural chlorine contain the rare radioactive isotope 36Cl and the stable isotopes 35Cl and 37Cl
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.

How do an isotopes and a radioactive isotopes ifferent?
Simply by being radioactive or not. An isotope is an atomic variant of the same element, and has the same chemical characteristics, but is not necessarily radioactive.
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
How is radioactive Isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.

When a radioactive tracer is used why is it best to use a radioactive isotope that decays into a stable isotope?
The principle behind the use of radioactive tracers is that an atom in a chemical compound is replaced by another atom, of the same chemical element. The substituting atom, however, is a radioactive isotope. This process is often called radioactive labeling.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
What is half life of a isotope?
The half life of an isotope refers to the rate at which a radioactive isotope undergoes radioactive decay. Specifically, it is the amount of time it takes for half of a given sample of a radioactive isotope to decay.
What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?
That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
