The use of uranium-238 to determine the age of a geological formation is a beneficial use of
O 1.
nuclear fusion
2.
nuclear fission
3.
radioactive isomers
4.
radioactive isotopes

Answer :

Answer:

4- radioactive isotopes

Explanation:

I don't remember exactly but this question was on the regents

Uranium-238  is a non- fissile element. It is a radioactive isotope that can be best used to determine geological formations. Thus, option 4 is correct.

What are radioactive isotopes?

Radioactive isotopes are elements that have an unstable atomic nucleus and can undergo radioactive decay to produce new particles and energy. They have the same atomic number as that of their parent species.

Isobars are a substance that has atomic mass and do not include uranium. Nuclear fusion and fission are the processes of nuclear energy that combine or splits the unstable nucleus to form a new particle.

Therefore, option 4. Uranium-238 is a radioactive isotope.
