Isotopic tracer technique

Question

Give a brief introduction of the term isotopic tracer technique?

Answer 1

This technique is employed to comprehend chemical reaction and interactions in chemistry and bio-chemistry. Within this technique, one or more of the atoms of the molecule of interest is alternated for an atom of the same chemical element; however that element belongs to various isotopes. It can be employed to identify the dissimilarity in numeral of neutrons individually from the other atoms of the same element. The atom has the similar number of protons; it will perform in almost accurately the same way chemically as other atoms in the compound, and with only some exceptions will not get in the way with the reaction under investigation.
