☆☞ [ Verified answer ]☜☆

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different masses. They get these different masses by having different numbers of neutrons in their nucleii. ... When an unstable isotope decays, it makes a new atom of a different element.

create an isotope

This can be done by firing high-speed particles into the nucleus of an atom. When struck, the nucleus may absorb the particle or become unstable and emit a particle. In either case, the number of particles in the nucleus would be altered, creating an isotope.

It's Uses

it uses a radioactive isotope known as carbon-14. In medicine, gamma rays emitted by radioactive elements are used to detect tumors inside the human body.
