radioisotopes (isotopes, <materials by chemical form>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: All chemical elements possess one or more types of unstable as well as stable isotopes. The former are known as radioisotopes or radioactive isotopes. Their nuclei dissipate excess energy as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. This radioactive decay forms the basis for the measuring processes of radioactive dating. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Alle chemische elementen hebben een of meer typen stabiele of instabiele isotopen. Instabiele isotopen worden ook wel radio-isotopen of radioactieve isotopen genoemd. De nuclei van zulke isotopen geven overtollige energie af in de vorm van alfa-, bèta- of gammastraling. Dit radioactieve verval wordt gemeten in radioactieve dateringsmethoden. |
