Which of the following is the radio isotope in each pair (a), (b) and (c) ?
(a) 612C_{6}^{12}\text{C}612C, 614C_{6}^{14}\text{C}614C
(b) 1530P_{15}^{30}\text{P}1530P, 1532P_{15}^{32}\text{P}1532P
(c) 1939K_{19}^{39}\text{K}1939K, 1940K_{19}^{40}\text{K}1940K
Give reason for your answer.
The following are radioisotope —
(a) 614C_{6}^{14}\text{C}614C
(b) 1532P_{15}^{32}\text{P}1532P
(c) 1940K_{19}^{40}\text{K}1940K
The above mentioned elements are isotopes because the number of neutrons exceeds the number of protons.
