Is radioactive isotopes used to treat cancer.?
Yes, radioactive isotopes are largely used for the treatment of cancer.
What are Radioactive isotopes used for?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
How are isotopes used to keep food from spoiling?
Typically, dehydration and irradiation. The causes of most food spoilage is the growth of bacteria in the moist environment of the food. Irradiation can kill all the bacteria, so as long as the package is sealed, no bacteria can grow there. And dehydration removes most of the water from the food so that it takes up less space and weight, and stays edible for longer times.
Is Zirconium not radioactive?
Natural zirconium is not radioactive. However, there are some radioactive isotopes of zirconium that can be produced in nuclear reactions.
Are Radioactive isotopes are used to treat cancer.?
Yes
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.

Yes
How are radioactive isotopes help full?
Radioactive isotopes are used in medicine (treatment or diagnostic), as tracers in hydrogeology, physiology, sources of energy, standards for radiation, sterilization, radioactive dating, etc.
What isotope uranium is radioactive?
Yes.......most likely. I can't think of anything to do with Uranium, that isn't radioactive! -------- Uranium natural isotopes are not so radioactive compared with other isotopes; but all the isotopes of uranium are radioactive.
What isotopes are used as radioactive tracers?
Either beta or gamma
Is chromium radio active?
Natural chromium is not radioactive. However, there are radioactive isotopes of chromium, such as chromium-51, that are man-made through nuclear reactions. These radioactive isotopes are used in various medical and scientific applications.
What are some of the roles of isotopes?
- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.
