It covers chemical kinetic methods using reaction rates, radiochemical methods using radioactive decay, and flow injection methods where samples react and move with carrier streams. Chemical methods are useful for slow reactions and enzyme analysis; radiochemical methods utilize isotopes, and flow injection is ideal for fast sample processing.

Although an element’s different isotopes have the same chemical properties, their nuclear properties are different. The most important difference between isotopes is their stability. The nuclear configuration of a stable isotope remains constant with time. Unstable isotopes, however, spontaneously disintegrate, emitting radioactive particles as they transform into a more stable form.

It describes the types of radioactive decay particles (alpha, beta, gamma rays, and X-rays) and the role of isotopes in identifying nuclear stability. It also covers the mathematical models for radioactive decay, including first-order kinetics and half-life calculations.
