Note that this is a mass effect and has nothing to do with the fact that one of the isotopes is radioactive. The chemical differences are small unless the relative mass differences are large, for example, 3H versus 1H. Although the isotope effect is important in some experi ments, such as measurements of chemical bond strengths, it is, fortunately, of no practi cal consequence in nuclear medicine. , internal con version, Section E, and electron capture, Section F) can be changed very slightly by altering the chemical (orbital electron) state of the atom.
The number of vacancies that result in emission of characteristic x rays versus Auger electrons is determined by probability values that depend on the specific element and orbital shell involved. The probability that a vacancy will yield characteristic x rays is called the fluorescent yield, symbolized by ωK for the K shell, ωL for the L shell, and so forth. Figure 2-6 is a graph of ωK versus Z. Both characteristic x rays and Auger electrons are emitted by all elements, but heavy elements are more likely to emit x rays (large ω), whereas light elements are more likely to emit electrons (small ω).
Figure 2-10 is a graph of EB /A versus A for the stable nuclides. Binding energy is greatest (≈ 8 MeV per nucleon) for nuclides of mass number A ≈ 60. It decreases slowly with increasing A, indicating the tendency toward 10 Binding energy per nucleon, EB(MeV)/A 8 6 4 2 0 0 40 17 80 120 Mass number, A 160 200 FIGURE 2-10 Binding energy per nucleon (EB /A) versus mass number (A) for the stable nuclides. 18 Physics in Nuclear Medicine instability for very heavy nuclides.
