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
