Which statement about isotopes is false? O Radioisotopes are unstable and spontaneously emit radiation. Isotopes have virtually the same chemical reactivity. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and two neutrons. Isotopes have the same atomic number but not the same atomic weight. Isotopes vary in the number of neutrons but not the number of protons.

2.86 For some uses, the relative abundance of isotopes must be manipulated. For example, a medical technique called boron neutron capture therapy needs a higher fraction of 10B than occurs naturally to achieve its best efficiency. What would happen to the atomic weight of a sample of boron that had been enriched in 10B? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of a weighted average.
