What is a radioisotope used to date rock formations older than 50000 years?
Carbon-14 is used predominantly but I believe that iridium is used past 400000 years.
What device that is filled with water vapor or ethanol vapor that track beta and alpha particles called?
tracer
What is a radioactive tracer and give an example of how one might be used?
A radioactive tracer is a radioactive atom inserted in a compound to see what happens to it in a reaction, usually in biotechnology. For example, to find out where carbon atoms go in photosynthesis, scientists can give the plants carbon dioxide with carbon-14 instead of carbon-12 and track the progress of the carbon-14.
What is the parent radioisotope if a beta decay produces barium 137?
Same mass, atomic number one lower - Cs - caesium
What is an instrument used to measure rainfall called?
It is called a water meter
Why can a radioisotope be used as a tracer in the human body?
A radioisotope can be used as a tracer in the human body because tracers are used in the imaging the body's organs and tissues.
A radioisotope used to find or track molecules in an organism?
Tracer
What radioisotope is used to detect changes in bodily functions?
Tracer
A is a molecule into which a radioisotope has been incorporated?
tracer
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.
Isotopes called what are used to diagnose a disease?
Tracer Elements
What is involved in sentinel node mapping?
If a radioisotope tracer or blue dye is injected into the area of the primary tumor, very shortly it will travel to the lymph nodes draining that area.
What is a trackable isotope?
It is called a tracer
Which radioisotope is used heavily in nuclear medicine NAME THEM?
Which of the
What is a biological tracer?
biological tracer means to study the biological aspects with the help of, called tracers.
What radioisotope is used to detect cancer cells?
Tc-99
What are isotopes which send off charged particles and radiant energy from their nuclei called?
It is called a radioisotope.
