Outcome 2.2
1. The thyroid gland metabolizes iodine, the most common formof whichhas a molecular weight of 127 (iodine-127). A physicianwants to use a radioactive isotope of iodine (iodine-i 31) totest whether a patient’s thyroid gland is metabolizing normally.Based on what you know about how atoms react, do you thinkthis physician’s plan makes sense?
