The substance for the separation of isotopes is first converted into the:

Correct answer: C. Vapour state

  • A. Neutral state
  • B. Free state
  • C. Vapour state
  • D. Charged state

Explanation

Mass spectrometry is one of the most precise ways of differentiating isotopes on the bases of charge-to-mass ratio It includes five major STEPS IN the following sequence: (1) Vaporization: the sample of the element is vaporized. (2) Ionization-positive ions are obtained from the vapour (3) Acceleration: the positive ions are accelerated by an electric field (4) Deflections are deflected by magnetic fields. (5) Detection-ions are detected and the record is made

About Environmental Chemistry

Atmospheric pollution includes smog, acid rain, greenhouse gases, ozone depletion and the effects of carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Water pollution covers sewage, industrial waste, eutrophication and treatment stages, while green chemistry focuses on reducing hazardous substances, waste and energy use through safer, more efficient processes.
