A bottle of red wine is thought to have been sealed about 5 years ago. The wine containa a number of different kinds of atoms, incluing carbon, oxygen,and hydrogen. Each of these has a radioactive isotope. The radiaoctive isotope of carbon is the familiar ._6^(14)C with a half-life of 5730 years . The radioactive isotope of oxygen is. ._(8)^(15)O and has a half-life of 122.2 s . The radioactive isotope of hydrogen ._1^(3)H and is called tritium, its half-life is 12.33 years . The activity of each of these isotopes is known at the time the bottle was sealed. However, only one of the isotopes is useful for determining the age of the wine accurately. Which is it?

We all know that a large number of elements exist as isotopes. The isotopes of an element have same atomic number but different mass numbers. The isotopes. With higher mass number are mostly radioactive in nature. These are called radioisotopes. These isotopes have a wide range of applications.
