6. Common isotopes that are used in nuclear imaging include: fluorine-18‚ gallium-67‚ krypton-81m‚ rubidium-82‚ nitrogen-13‚ technetium-99m‚ indium-111‚ iodine-123 (pictured above)‚ xenon-133‚ and thallium-201. For therapy‚ yttrium-90 and iodine-131 are commonly used. Many radioisotopes are made in nuclear reactors‚ some in cyclotrons. Generally neutron-rich ones need to be made in reactors‚ neutron-depleted ones are made in cyclotrons. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation

we saw our solution go from cloudy to clear over and over. After filtering one more time the color of orange stained the filter paper but no crystals. Data Melting Point: expected: 131- 132 C Conclusion We concluded if this experiment had gone the way expected we would have a melting point of 131-132 C. We believe this error was due to excessive amount of DCM prior to filtering when we tried to get all of the solution out of the reaction tube. We believe we had too small of a volume
