Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The isotope which is likely to be more radioactive between Nitrogen-14 and Nitrogen-13 should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The isotopes with the unstable nucleus of an element are converted to a stable nucleus by emitting radiation in the form of beta, alpha, or gamma radiation is said to be a radioactive isotope.
Interpretation:
The isotope which is likely to be more radioactive between Phosphorus-31and Phosphorus-33 should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The isotopes with the unstable nucleus of an element are converted to a stable nucleus by emitting radiation in the form of beta, alpha, or gamma radiation is said to be a radioactive isotope.
Interpretation:
The isotope which is likely to be more radioactive between Lithium-7 and lithium-9 should be identified.
