Radio isotopes and study of radio isotopes

by

Radioisotopes, or radioactive isotopes, are isotopes of chemical elements that exhibit radioactivity. These isotopes have unstable nuclei, leading them to undergo spontaneous radioactive decay, emitting particles or energy in the process. The radioactivity of these isotopes makes them valuable in various scientific, medical, industrial, and environmental applications. Key Characteristics 1. Unstable Nuclei: Radioisotopes have nuclei … Read more
