technetium-99 need to be made in a reactor as so this all cost money to do it. by saying that its main disadvantages are high costs and generation of large quantities of highly radioactive waste.
Technetium-99m is a metastable nuclear isomer of technetium-99. Technetium-99m is commonly used in medical imaging due to its short half-life and ability to emit gamma rays, while technetium-99 is a radioactive isotope with a longer half-life that is used for various medical and industrial applications, such as in radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine.
One con of technetium-99 is its relatively short half-life of about 6 hours, which means it decays quickly and requires on-site production. Another con is that it is a beta-emitting radionuclide, which can pose radiation exposure risks if not handled properly. Additionally, the production of technetium-99 can generate radioactive waste that needs to be properly managed.
Tc has 55 neutrons, its variants such as Tc-99 have a differing number of neutrons ranging from 54, 55, and 56 in the longer lived isotopes such as Tc-99. Tc-99 also has a half-life of 211,000 years.
I'll take a wild guess and say 6.25mg. if that's not right I too would like to know how to compute. I had a dose today but don't know the amount they infused.
Technetium is used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging procedures. It can be used as a tracer in environmental studies to track the movement of materials in various systems. Technetium compounds have potential applications in catalysis and electronic devices.
Some disadvantages of Technetium-99 include its short half-life (6 hours) which requires it to be produced on-site or very close to the location of use, potential for radioactive contamination if not handled properly, and environmental concerns related to its production and disposal.
Technetium-99 has 56 neutrons.
Technetium-99 is used as standard source for beta radiation.
The atomic mass (not molecular weight) of technetium-99 is 98,906 254 7(21).
Technetium-99 has not a chemical equation but an isotopic symbol. This is Tc with:- to the left, as a superscript, 99- to the left as a subscript, 43
Technetium-99 has 43 protons, 56 neutrons and 43 electrons.
Technetium-99m is a metastable nuclear isomer of technetium-99. Technetium-99m is commonly used in medical imaging due to its short half-life and ability to emit gamma rays, while technetium-99 is a radioactive isotope with a longer half-life that is used for various medical and industrial applications, such as in radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine.
