For the following elements shown in the periodic table in this simulation determine their unstable isotopes. You can do this by adding or subtracting neutrons from your isotope (drag neutron balls from the bowl to your isotope to add, from the isotope to the bowl to subtract). For each unstable isotope, do a web search and determine if there is a clinical use for the isotope in diagnosis or treatment of patients. List the clinical use in the table below. Provide a web link to the information on clinical use.

2.86 For some uses, the relative abundance of isotopes must be manipulated. For example, a medical technique called boron neutron capture therapy needs a higher fraction of 10B than occurs naturally to achieve its best efficiency. What would happen to the atomic weight of a sample of boron that had been enriched in 10B? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of a weighted average.
