Where are isotopes found?

Isotopes are found in nature, in elements that have different versions of the same atom with varying numbers of neutrons. They are also artificially produced in laboratories through nuclear reactions. Isotopes play important roles in various scientific and industrial applications.


What are some examples of radioactive isotopes?

Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.


Why are some isotopes called radioactive?

Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.


Is it typical of transition metals to have isotopes?

Some do, some don't. Scandium and manganese, for example, do not, copper has only two isotopes.


Which diagrams represent isotopes of the same element?

Only some special diagrams represents isotopes of the same element.


Why is it that some isotopes of an element are able to exist indefinitely?

Some isotypes are more stable than others. Decay occurs because of instability in isotopes, so stable isotopes do not undergo radioactive decay.


Can isotopes have positive and negative charges?

Isotopes are just the different possible nuclear weights of each element. Some are stable; some are unstable and radioactive. Since all atoms are isotopes and all isotopes are atoms, Isotopes can - and do - form ions, consequently they can have positive and negative charges.


What are some isotopes more heavily weighted than other?

Isotopes contain a different number of neutrons.


When an isotope is it is called radioactive?

Some isotopes are radioactive, some are not.
