Uses of Radioisotopes

We are discussing nuclear chemistry this week. Discuss the use of radioactivity in industry, medicine, or daily life by choosing one of the radioisotopes and considering the following questions in your initial response:

  • What is the actual isotope?
  • What is the half-life?
  • What type of radiation is emitted?
