KF25

KF25, also known as Krypton-25, is a radioactive isotope of the noble gas krypton. It is produced through the neutron activation of krypton-24, which is a stable isotope of krypton. KF25 has a half-life of approximately 10.76 years and decays through beta minus (β-) decay, emitting a beta particle and an antineutrino to become the stable isotope calcium-41. Due to its short half-life compared to other krypton isotopes, KF25 is not found in significant quantities in nature. It is primarily used in scientific research, particularly in studies involving the behavior of noble gases in various environments. KF25 is also used in medical imaging and as a tracer in geological studies. The isotope's radioactive properties make it useful in these applications, as it can be easily detected and tracked. However, due to its radioactivity, handling KF25 requires appropriate safety measures to protect against radiation exposure.
