radioactive isotope, any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma rays.
23 Σεπ 2022 · Radioactive isotopes have numerous medical applications in diagnosing and treating illness and diseases. One example of a diagnostic application is using radioactive iodine-131 to test for thyroid activity (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).
25 Απρ 2024 · Radioisotopes (radioactive isotopes or radionuclides or radioactive nulcides) are used in two major ways: either for their radiation alone (irradiation, nuclear batteries) or for the combination of chemical properties and their radiation (tracers, biopharmaceuticals).
7 Ιουν 2024 · This is a list or table of elements that are radioactive. Keep in mind, all elements can have radioactive isotopes. If enough neutrons are added to an atom, it becomes unstable and decays. A good example of this is tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen naturally present at extremely low levels.
26 Σεπ 2024 · Radioisotopes are used to follow the paths of biochemical reactions or to determine how a substance is distributed within an organism. Radioactive tracers are also used in many medical applications, including both diagnosis and treatment.
21 Νοε 2023 · Uses of Radioactive Isotopes. The list of radioisotopes is large, and they have a wide range of uses. These boil down to three main useful properties. 1. Radioisotopes leave a trail and can...
Radioactive isotopes have a variety of applications. Generally, however, they are useful because either we can detect their radioactivity or we can use the energy they release. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity is easy to detect.
