What is isotopic tracer technique?
Answer Posted / swapna
An isotopic tracer is used in chemistry and biochemistry to
help understand chemical reactions and interactions. In
this technique, one or more of the atoms of the molecule of
interest is substituted for an atom of the same chemical
element, but of a different isotope. Because the atom has
the same number of protons, it will behave in almost
exactly the same way chemically as other atoms in the
compound, and with few exceptions will not interfere with
the reaction under investigation. The difference in the
number of neutrons, however, means that it can be detected
separately from the other atoms of the same element.
