Answer:
A radioactive (unstable) phosphorus isotope is made to replace a nonradioactive isotope of phosphorus in the molecule
Explanation:
Phosphorus has both unstable (radioactive) and stable isotopes. In any compound that contains phosphorus, the phosphorus atom present may be either a stable isotope of phosphorus or an unstable isotope of phosphorus.
However, if the molecule contains a stable nonradioactive isotope of phosphorus, it is possible to convert this isotope in the molecule to the unstable radioactive isotope by carefully carrying out exchange reactions in which the phosphorus isotope replaces the nonradioactive isotope in the molecule.
This is usually done in order to create radioactive tracers which are used to study chemical reactions and biochemical processes.
Is there a picture to go with this?
When someone does not have insurance:
• Infected patient with contagious disease won’t be treated so the infection might be spread,
• Emergency treatment and care for uninsured patient will cost a lot more than for the patient with insurance,
• Staying in hospital rooms and using hospital resources is more expensive.
