Radioactive Isotopes
There are two types of isotopes : those which are stable and those which are unstable.The isotopes which are unstable (due to the presence of extra neutrons in their nuclei) and emit various types of radiations, are called radioactive isotopes (or just radioisotopes).The radiations (such as alpha particles,beta particles and gamma rays) are emitted by the unstable nuclei of the raciioactive isotopes. Some of the common radioactive isotopes are : Carbon-14, Arsenic-74, Sodium-24,Iodine-131,Cobalt-60 and Uranium-235.The high energy radiations emitted by radioactive isotopes are harmful to human beings.So,radioactive isotopes have to be used very, very carefully by taking suitable precautions and at proper concentrations to avoid damage.
