c) p-32
d) na-24
e) cr-51
f) fe-59
please say it's full form and for what thing it's used
Answers
Answer:
Cobalt 60 is a isotope because it has 33 neutrons.
Iodine 131 is a isotope because it has 78 neutrons.
Phosphorus 32 is a isotope because it has 17 neutrons.
Sodium 24 is a isotope because it has 13 neutrons.
Chromium 51 is a isotope because it has 27 neutrons.
Iron 59 is a isotope because it has 33 neutrons.
In all these examples, their neutrons are more than the protons.
Co 60 is used in leveling gauges and in X ray welding seams.
I 131 is used to diagnose and treat cancer.
P 32 is used in laboratory to label DNA and proteins.
Na 24 is used in non medical applications and to follow the path sodium takes in a person's body to see if their uptake levels are within normal ranges.
Cr 51 is used in labelling of red blood cells and for the diagnosis os gastrointestinal bleeding.
Fe 59 is used as tracer in study of Iron metabolism and in determination of Blood volume.
