Isotopes & Radioisotopes
History
Sources
- Isotopes discovered by J.J. Thomson in 1913
- Radioisotopes also in 1913 by radiochemist Frederick Soddy
- Marie Curie first succeeded in isolating radioisotopes
Difference in the 'topes
- Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes
- So, radioisotopes are a variation of an isotope

What are Isotopes?
Industrial Interests & Warfare
- Isotopes are variants of a chemical element
- Identical Proton number
- Differing Neutrons
- Plutonium / uranium isotopes
- Used for nuclear warfare
- Natural uranium is made weapons-grade through isotopic enrichment

- History
- Where we encounter them in everyday life
- Industrial Uses and Warfare
Radioisotopes used for:
- Radiation therapy for cancer patients
- X-ray technology
- Nuclear energy
Isotopes:
- Version of a chemical element with unstable nucleus
- Emits radiation during its decay to a stable form
- Important uses for medicine and nuclear warfare
