Isotopes are forms of an element differing in mass and physical properties, but with the same chemical properties. While most isotopes are stable, some emit radiation. These radioisotopes are used in medical and industrial applications, environmental tracing and biological studies. The IAEA helps its Member States apply isotope techniques.
