Isotope fractionation Isotope fractionation Isotope fractionation describes processes that affect the relative abundance of isotopes, often used in isotope geochemistry. Normally, the focus is on stable isotopes of the same element. Isotopic fractionation in the natural environment can be measured by isotope analysis, using isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, to separate different element isotopes on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio, an important tool to understand natural systems. For example, in biochemistry processes cause a fluctuation in the amount of isotopes of carbon ratios incorporated into a biological being. The difference between the true amount of carbon and the amount in the plant is
Isotopes of moscovium channel with the highest expected yield is given. MD = multi-dimensional; DNS = Di-nuclear system; σ = cross section Isotopes of moscovium Moscovium (Mc) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was Mc in 2004. There are four known radioisotopes from Mc to Mc. The longest-lived isotope is Mc with a half-life of 0.8 seconds. The table below contains various combinations of targets and projectiles which could be used to form compound nuclei with Z=115. Each entry is a
