mass spectrometer
isotopes are just things of the same element without one or more nuetrons
Yes, it must be used as all elements have one or more isotopes and all elements have an atomic mass.
The most common instrument used to measure isotopes is a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry allows scientists to accurately determine the mass and abundance of isotopes in a sample. It works by ionizing the atoms in the sample and separating them based on their mass-to-charge ratio.
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.
The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.
Hydrogen, in the form of liquid deuterium and tritium isotopes. The test shot was the 1952 Ivy Mike device.

reactors to make medical isotopes of other elements
The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of all the stable isotopes of the element (if it has any), weighted by the natural occurrence levels of the isotopes in the elements as found on earth or in the atmosphere.
The question should not be, what element, but what isotope. Several easily fissible isotopes are used, such as Uranium-235. But note that the element Uranium as such is not usable - only that specific isotope.
A device used to separate the scales from the fish.
The isotopes 233U, 235U, 239Pu, 241Pu for a fission with low energy neutrons.
An element alwys has the same number of electrons and protons no matter what the isotope - so the answer is the neutrons determine the isotope.
