Isotopes

More than 99%of naturally occurring uranium is U-238. The valuable U-235 makes up less than 1% of uranium, and must be "enriched" in complicated processes.

The number of protons determines the atomic number of an element. The number of protons and neutrons determines the mass number. The number of electrons determine it's electrical charge. So, in an isotope, normally the only thing that changes is the number of neutrons and it's mass number. The answer to your question, as I understand it, is no.

The nuclear symbol for chromium-50 is 5024Cr.

Manganese has only one isotope that occurs in nature. Its atomic mass is approximately 54.940 amu.

There's just the one, and it's 222Rn, or radon-222. There might be a trace of some of the other isotopes around if there has been a nuclear accident or the like, but it is unlikely that they could be detected unless the accident was huge, had just occurred and you were testing right on top of it.

Phosphorus-32 (P-32) is commonly used in pest control as a radioactive isotope that can help control insect populations. When pests are exposed to P-32, it can disrupt their biological processes and lead to reduced populations.

Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of fossils. Radiation therapy for cancer comes from isotopes that emit gamma rays. Thyroid tissue that may be cancerous and has left the throat region can be located in the body with radioactive iodine.

Yes, a natural isotope can be radioactive. Some natural isotopes have unstable nuclei and undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable form. This process involves the emission of radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

neutrons = 22 (for the most stable isotope of argon, Ar-40)

Radioactive isotopes are a subset of isotopes. If we look at all isotopes, some of them are radioactive. That means that they have unstable nuclei, and they will decay spontaneously sooner or later.

Isotopes are used to create energy in at least two ways: # The isotopes are allowed to heat water into steam, and the steam turns a generator. # The isotopes are allowed to heat one end of a "thermopile", and the thermopile powers electronics. (This is how the deep space probes get their power.)

O16 is the most common isotope of oxygen.
most common isotope for oxygen is O18

Carbon is the element that has four isotopes: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14, and carbon-15. Each isotope has a different number of neutrons in its nucleus, resulting in variations in atomic mass.

Isotopes are determined by the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Each isotope of an element has the same number of protons in its nucleus but a different number of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.

Rhenium has 7 isotopes. The most stable and abundant isotopes are rhenium-185 and rhenium-187.

Oxygen-18 is a relatively rare isotope, making up about 0.2% of naturally occurring oxygen. It is often used in scientific research, such as studying climate history through ice cores or tracking the movement of water in the environment. Its rarity compared to the more common oxygen-16 isotope means that it can provide valuable insights in various fields.

The isotope with 15 protons and 17 neutrons is Phosphorus-32, which has a symbol of P-32.

The only natural isotope of Cobalt is Cobalt-59.

Intrasanitary isotope therapy involves delivering radioactive isotopes directly to the affected area within the body to treat conditions like cancer. This targeted approach helps to minimize damage to healthy tissues while effectively targeting and destroying cancerous cells.

Isotopes of an element differ from each other by having different numbers of neutrons. For example: 1H (hydrogen), 2H (deuterium), 3H (tritium) are isotopes. They have the same number of protons (1) but different numbers of neutrons (0, 1, and 2 respectively).

Copper isotopes are variations of copper atoms with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. The most common isotopes of copper are copper-63 and copper-65. Isotope analysis can be used in various fields such as geology, archaeology, and medical research to trace the origin and behavior of copper-containing materials.

Cobalt-60 is a radioisotope that is mostly used in the medical field. During the last half of the twentieth century, the use of Cobalt-60 was used widely to kill mutated cells, but modern methods favor X-rays produced from linear accelerators. Its main use was in chemotherapy to kill cancerous cells. Cobalt-60 can be implanted directly on or near mutated cells to help stop the spread of cancer. But mostly, the radiation is given in the form of the 2 gamma rays it produces as external irradiation (sometimes called teletherapy).

The radioactivity of Cobalt-60 is also put to use in sterilizing medical instruments by destroying bacteria and other harmful pathogens.

1. Phosphorus is used in treatment of blood cancer .

2. Radioisotopes are used to detect presense of tumor (arsenic) and blood clots (sodium).

3. They are used to find the age of fossils (carbon)

4. They help in finding th eage of rock

5. Also , radioisotopes are used to detect leakage in underground pipes

The isotope of an element is the different versions of that element. Due to the different number of neutrons. So the same element can have different numbers of neutrons in it's nucleus and therefore different mass numbers e.g. Chlorine 35 or Chlorine 37. Both contain identical numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Argon has three naturally occurring isotopes: argon-36, argon-38, and argon-40. Argon-40 is the most abundant isotope, making up about 99.6% of natural argon. Argon-40 is particularly important for dating rocks and minerals using the potassium-argon dating method.
