Question:
The thyroid gland metabolizes iodine, the most common form of which has molecular weight of 127 (iodine-127). A physician wants to use a radioactive isotope of iodine (iodine- 131) to test whether a patient’s thyroid gland is metabolizing normally. Based on what you know about how atoms react, do you think this physician’s plan makes sense?
