Isotopes & Radioisotopes
Section 3.6
![Page 2: Isotopes & Radioisotopes Section 3.6. What is an isotope? Two or more forms of an element. Each form has the same number of protons but a different number](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1e5503460f94c354f0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is an isotope? Two or more forms of an element. Each form has the same number of protons
but a different number of neutrons. Therefore, each form has a different atomic
mass. For example: 35Cl
17
37Cl17
P = 17; N = 18 P = 17; N = 20
Cl-35 Cl-37

Isotopes of the Same Element Have the same physical and chemical
properties. However, some isotopes are unstable, or radioactive.
These isotopes are called radioisotopes.

Radioisotopes The instability causes the nucleus to break
apart and eject very-high-energy particles into its surroundings.
This energy can be both beneficial and harmful.

The types of high-energy particles: Alpha particles (α): positive particles Beta particles (β): high-energy electrons Gamma particles (γ): the most dangerous
