PPT-Radioactive Isotope Geochemistry

FIGURE 01 Simple Bohrtype model of a lithium atom Radioactive Isotopes Unstable isotopes decay to other nuclides The rate of decay is constant and not affected by P T X Parent nuclide . Tritium is a radioactive isotope of Hydrogen. Tritium light sources are radioluminescent and can be best described as a strong glow. They are self-powered and do not need to be charged via exposure to Chapter 6. Isotope Geochemistry. In isotope geochemistry, our primary interest is not in dating, but using the time-dependent nature of isotope ratios to make inferences about the nature of reservoirs in the Earth and their evolution..
