Radioactive isotopes that can be followed through a chemical reaction or a industrial process is?
tracer
Can a radioactive isotope that can be follwed through the steps of a chemical reation ia an indicator?
Tracers are indicators that can be followed through the steps of a chemical reaction.
A tracer is a radioactive element whose pathway through the steps of a chemical reaction can be followed?
Yes a tracer is a radioactive element whose pathway through the steps of a chemical reaction can be followed. It can be used to explore the mechanism of chemical reactions by tracing the path that the radioisotope follows from reactants to products.
Is the parent element always radioactive in a nuclear reaction?
No, the parent element in a nuclear reaction is not always radioactive. While many parent isotopes are indeed radioactive and decay into stable or unstable daughter isotopes, there are also stable isotopes that can undergo nuclear reactions without being radioactive themselves. For example, stable isotopes can be involved in nuclear reactions such as neutron capture or fusion, but they do not decay over time like radioactive isotopes.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
What happens to the radioactive isotopes that are released in a nuclear reaction?
they decay over time
What property of isotopes allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions?
The property of isotopes that allows radiotracers to be useful in studying chemical reactions is their ability to emit radiation, which can be detected and tracked. By substituting a stable isotope with a radioactive isotope in a molecule, researchers can track the movement and transformation of the molecule during a chemical reaction by measuring the emitted radiation.
If a fusion reaction produces no appreciable radioactive isotopes then why does a hydrogen bomb produce significant radioactive fallout?
A hydrogen bomb is actually a fission-fusion-fission reaction. The primary fission trigger (plutonium) supplies the energy to induce fusion, but then the fusion energy is used to initiate the secondary fission, which is a large amount of uranium. (in a "clean" H bomb, the uranium is replaced with lead, making it much weaker) also, the radiation will affect the surrounding area, creating a large number of isotopes, dramatically increasing the radioactive fallout.-Akilae
Are glow sticks radioactive?
No, glow sticks are not radioactive. They emit light through a chemical reaction, typically involving hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. The light emitted is a result of this chemical reaction, not radioactivity.
What is the difference between Chemical kinetics vs Chemical decay?
Chemical decay, also known as radioactive decay, is a process that occurs naturally (usually in isotopes or unstable substances) Chemical Kinetics is one of the ways you can analyze radioactive decay. Although it should be noted that radioactive decay undergoes first order decay when using Chemical Kinetics.
Radioactive decay is chemical reaction or?
it is type of nuclear reaction because nucleus is involve in this type of reaction while in ordinary chemical reaction only valance electron of atoms involve
Is the parent isotope always radioactive In a nuclear equation?
No, the parent in the nuclear equation is not always radioactive. For example, the following reaction shows a neutron capture by 23Na, which is not radioactive. 1123Na + 01n --> 1124Na where 01n is a neutron.
