which process & which isotope u mention
1. nuclear reaction U235 & Pu239
U didn't mention which process
No, most isotopes are not stable. Many isotopes are radioactive and decay over time, releasing radiation in the process. Only a few isotopes are stable and do not undergo radioactive decay.
As parent isotopes decrease through radioactive decay, daughter isotopes typically increase in concentration. This process occurs at a predictable rate, governed by the half-life of the parent isotope. Over time, as the parent isotopes are transformed into daughter isotopes, the ratio of daughter to parent isotopes can provide insights into the age of a sample or the duration of the decay process. Eventually, the system may reach a point of equilibrium, where the production rate of daughter isotopes equals their decay rate.
Yes, for the specified isotope; but the process is statistic.

Measuring the radioacivity of these isotopes can be tracked the course of a technological process because radioisotopes migrate themselves.
Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes that undergo radioactive decay, emitting particles and/or energy in the process. This distinguishes them from stable isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay. Radioisotopes are often used in medicine, industry, and research for various applications due to their unique properties related to their decay process.
carbon dating
Scientists use a method called radiometric dating to calculate the ages of rocks and fossils based on the amount of radioactive isotopes present in them. This process relies on measuring the decay of unstable isotopes into stable isotopes over time to determine the age of the material.
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.)
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.
