The process of increasing the abundance of a particular isotope in a mixture of isotopes is known by what name?
Isotopes of zinc weapons. A jacket of isotopically enriched Zn, irradiated by the intense high-energy neutron flux from an exploding thermonuclear weapon, would transmute into the radioactive isotope Zn with a half-life of 244 days and produce approximately 1.115 MeV of gamma radiation, significantly increasing the radioactivity of the weapon's fallout for several days. Such a weapon is not known to have ever been built, tested, or used. }} Isotopes of zinc Naturally occurring zinc (Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes Zn, Zn, Zn, Zn, and Zn with Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance). Twenty-five radioisotopes have been characterised
Isotopes of germanium Isotopes of germanium Germanium (Ge) has five naturally occurring isotopes, Ge, Ge, Ge, Ge, and Ge. Of these, Ge is very slightly radioactive, decaying by double beta decay with a half-life of 1.78 × 10 years (130 billion times the age of the universe). Stable Ge is the most common isotope, having a natural abundance of approximately 36%. Ge is the least common with a natural abundance of approximately 7%. When bombarded with alpha particles, the isotopes Ge and Ge will generate stable As and Se, releasing high energy electrons in the process. At least 27 radioisotopes have also been
