Ytterbium Radioactive

Radioactive ytterbium is the general name for radioactive isotopes of the element ytterbium with a mass number from 154 to 177. These isotopes have a half-life from a few seconds to 29-31.7 days.

The most common isotopes are 168Yb (half-life 2.22 hours), 170Yb (half-life 43.1 hours) and 171Yb (half-life 1.5 days).

Ytterbium is used in a variety of fields, including nuclear power, radioisotope diagnostics, and radiation therapy. The 175Yb isotope can be used to produce ionizing radiation sources.

The use of radioactive isotopes such as ytterbium can be dangerous, so precautions must be taken when handling them.



YtterbiY-Radioactive

This article will discuss the issue of radioactivity of radioactive yttrium. In the modern world, it is quite popular to use the term “Radioactive”, which generally means a radioactive substance. Radioactivity is a physical process that occurs
