Radio Chemistry

Radio Chemistry
General radio chemistry: The term radio chemistry first introduced in 1910 by A.G Cameron . It may defined as branch of science which delas with the study of the nature and properties of radioactive elements and their products. F. Paneath defined radio chemistry as the chemistry of the substances that are studies by their radiations . It is now defined as the branch of chemistry which deals with the study of radioactive isotopes elements and substances. The laws of their physio chemical behavior ,the chemistry of nuclear transformations and associated physio -chemical processes.


Types of radio chemistry
There are four major types of radio chemistry
1.General radio chemsitry
2.Chemistry of nuclear transformation
3.chemistry of radioactive element
4.applied chemistry


1. General radio chemsitry
This deals with the study of physico-chemical laws that govern the behaviour of radioactive isotopes and elements. Radio active the elements and isotopes are mostly prepares and used in quantities that are inaccessible weighing. The natural abundance of radioactive isotopes are extremely low.
