Stable isotope analysis gives an independent measure of fractionation such that if, for instance, a sample is 1.5% heavier in 13C than modern standard carbon through the effects of fractionation, then it will be 3% heavier in 14C than it would have been had fractionation not taken place.
radioactive isotope. n. An isotope having an unstable nucleus that decomposes spontaneously by emission of a nuclear electron or helium nucleus and radiation, thus achieving a stable nuclear composition. chemical element having the same atomic number as another (i.e. the same number of nuclear protons), but having a different atomic mass (i.e. a different number of nuclear neutrons). radioactive isotope. one having an unstable nucleus and which emits characteristic radiation during its decay to a stable form.
