Americium 241: Smoke detectors, thickness gauges, neutron sources, gamma or beta rays sources; also americium is a potential fissile material.
Possible use in the future of the isomer Am 242 m as thermal source.
Americium has today (2011) 19 isotopes and 8 isomers.
isotopes is a type of i guess calorie like things you need 4 grams of IT (isotopes) every day
I Don't know
Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
Carbon dating and tracking.
nothing chemistry is stupid
killer to any one
Radiometric dating is a method that uses the radioactive decay of isotopes in rocks and other objects to determine their age. By measuring the ratio of parent isotopes to daughter isotopes, scientists can calculate the age of the sample.
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are know as isotopes. Isotopes are identified by their mass number. For example hydrogen with an extra neutron is called Deuterium.
The "ionizing" type of smoke alarms uses Americium.
Fluorine 19 has one neutron more than F18.
The isotopes are not manufactured for specific uses, they occur in nature naturally.
