Yes, isotopes are also tracer elements since most modern disease detection techniques involves the subjects ingesting a small amount of radioactive tracers and detect such things as tumors via x-ray or photographic emulsion techniques. In fact, most tracer elements are isotopes.
What else can I help you with?
What are elements with no stable isotopes called?
Elements with no stable isotopes are called radioactive elements. These elements spontaneously undergo radioactive decay, which leads to the formation of stable isotopes over time.
Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?
No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes. These are called Deuterium and Tritium.All elements have isotopes but some of them are very unstable and have disappeared in nature over time.
What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
Isotopes of elements?
Isotopes of elements are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes of the same element to have different atomic masses. Isotopes can be stable or unstable, with unstable isotopes undergoing radioactive decay.
Isotopes called what are used to diagnose a disease?
Tracer Elements
Are Isotopes also called tracer elements?
Yes, isotopes are also tracer elements since most modern disease detection techniques involves the subjects ingesting a small amount of radioactive tracers and detect such things as tumors via x-ray or photographic emulsion techniques. In fact, most tracer elements are isotopes.
What are elements with no stable isotopes called?
Elements with no stable isotopes are called radioactive elements. These elements spontaneously undergo radioactive decay, which leads to the formation of stable isotopes over time.
What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?
The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.
Do all isotopes only occur in heavier elements?
No, isotopes of light elements exist as well. For example, there are several isotopes of the lightest element, hydrogen.No, even the lightest element (hydrogen (H)) has isotopes.

What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
What isotope of polonium should be used for tracer experiment?
Polonium isotopes are not used as tracers.
What is stable isotropes?
Stable isotopes of elements are called stable because they do not radioactively decay.
What is the average mass of the mixture of an elements isotopes?
All of the isotopes in an element's atomic masses divided by the amount of isotopes there are is the weighted-average mass of the mixture of an elements isotopes.
Radioactive isotopes that can be followed through a chemical reaction or a industrial process is?
tracer
Are most of the periodic table isotopes?
No most of them are not isotopes. Few elements exist as isotopes.
When the masses of all naturally ocurring isotopes of a particular element are averaged the result is called the elements?
No it is called the atomic mass
