How many radioactive isotopes does gold have?
2
What are the 2 radioactive isotopes?
There are a lot more than 2 radio active isotopes... To answer this question a naturally or created radioactive element needs to be mentioned.
What are 2 uses of radioactive isotopes?
Carbon dating and tracking.
How many isotopes does chromium have?
Chromium has 25 known isotopes, 2 isomers, 3 of which are non-radioactive.
Which lanthanide element and which transition element have only radioactive isotopes?
All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.
How many isotopes of gallium are there?
There are two stable isotopes of gallium: gallium-69 and gallium-71. Additionally, there are several radioactive isotopes of gallium, but they are unstable and decay over time.
How are two isotopes of carbon with mass number of 12 and 14 different from each other?
C-14 has 2 extra neutrons and is radioactive with a half life of about 5000 years, making it very useful for dating biological material.
Is sodium an isotope?
Sodium does not have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes - as it has only 1 naturally occurring isotope, which has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, and is not radioactive. However, the 18 other known types of sodium isotopes are all radioactive, and sodium-22 (the most stable radioactive sodium isotope) has a half life of 2.6 years.
How are gold 184 and gold 186 different?
Both are extremely radioactive isotopes. Gold 186 has 2 more neutrons.
What hydrogen isotopes are stable?
Hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 isotopes are radioactively stable.
What is the decay element of uranium?
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.
What is radioactive isotopes with one example?
radioactive isotope, also called radioisotope, any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma rays.Every chemical element has one or more radioactive isotopes. For example, hydrogen, the lightest element, has three isotopes with mass numbers 1, 2, and 3. Only hydrogen-3 (tritium), however, is a radioactive isotope, the other two being stable. More than 1,000 radioactive isotopes of the various elements are known. Approximately 50 of these are found in nature; the rest are produced artificially as the direct products of nuclear reactions or indirectly as the radioactive descendants of these products.Radioactive nuclides, or radionuclides, are species of unstable atomic nuclei without the restriction of being forms of the same element. Radioactive nuclides consist of all the sets of radioactive isotopes.Radioactive isotopes have many useful applications. In medicine, for example, cobalt-60 is extensively employed as a radiation source to arrest the development of cancer. Other radioactive isotopes are utilized as tracers for diagnostic purposes, as well as in research on metabolic processes. When a radioactive isotope is added in small amounts to comparatively large quantities of the stable element, it behaves exactly the same as the ordinary isotope chemically; it can, however, be traced with a Geiger counter or other detection device. Iodine-131 has proved effective in locating brain tumours, measuring cardiac output, and determining liver and thyroid activity. Another medically important radioactive isotope is carbon-14, which is useful in studying abnormalities of metabolism that underlie diabetes, gout, anemia, and acromegaly.In industry, radioactive isotopes of various kinds are used for measuring the thickness of metal or plastic sheets; their precise thickness is indicated by the strength of the radiations that penetrate the material being inspected. They also may be employed in place of large X-ray machines to examine manufactured metal parts for structural defects. Other significant applications include the use of radioactive isotopes as compact sources of electrical power-e.g., plutonium-238 in cardiac pacemakers and spacecraft. In such cases, the heat produced in the decay of the radioactive isotope is converted into electricity by means of thermoelectric junction circuits or related devices.
