Re: Physical properties of isotopes?

[Andrew Mattox <amattox@mbl.edu>]

Compounds containing radioisotopes will behave slightly differently than

their stable counterparts.



There is a great deal of environmental research that is based on the

fact that compounds containing the stable isotopes, C-12 vs.C-13 and

N-14 vs. N-15 do not behave exactly the same in the environment because

of the small difference in mass. I don't have a general reference at

hand but contact me off list at amattox@mbl.edu if you need a text.
