Why is separation by diffusion not efficient for the separation of isotopes of uranium?
The gaseous diffusion separation of the uranium isotopes is very efficient but expensive; the centrifugation is now preferred.

What function of electrometer in mass spectrometer?
In a mass spectrometer, the electrometer serves as a highly sensitive detector that measures the electric current produced when ions strike the detector surface. It converts the ion current into a measurable voltage, allowing for the quantification of ion abundance and thereby contributing to the identification and analysis of different isotopes or molecules. This precise measurement is crucial for determining the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, which is fundamental to the mass spectrometry process.

Why is it extremely difficult to separate the two isotopes of copper 63Cu and 65Cu?
The separation of isotopes is relatively easy for light elements as hydrogen, lithium, nitrogen etc. For elements with higher atomic weight and a small difference between the atomic masses of the isotopes the process is long and expensive. The insignificant differences between these isotopes doesn't facilitate the separation.

Why can't you separate uranium isotopes through chemical means?
Uranium isotopes have the same chemical properties due to their identical electron configurations, making it challenging to separate them using traditional chemical methods. The separation is usually achieved through physical methods, such as centrifugation or gas diffusion, which rely on the small mass differences between the isotopes.
Which device can be used to separate isotopes of an element?
A gas centrifuge is commonly used to separate isotopes of an element by exploiting the small mass differences between isotopes. By spinning at high speeds, the heavier isotopes migrate closer to the outer edge of the centrifuge, allowing for their separation.
How do they produce heavy water?
The best method is the separation of isotopes by ionic exchange, for example by the Girdler sulfide process..
How will you show that electrons are negatively charged.name the instrument?
This instrument is the electrometer.
Explain why it is impossible to separate the different isotopes of an element by ordinary chemical means?
Chemical reactions occur because of interaction between electrons, either donation or sharing. Isotopes have the same number of electrons (and protons) which is why they are considered to be the same element. The difference in isotopes is the number of neutrons - which affects the overall mass of the atom, but not its reactivity. This means that chemical means can't be used, instead you have to look for physical separation techniques.
When was the electrometer invented?
The first electromagnet was invented in 1825.
