Thus, the parent isotopes that decay are called radioisotopes.
The next step is to measure the amounts of the parent and daughter isotopes in a sample of the rock unit.
Therefore, carbon has three isotopes, which are specified as carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 (figure 1). Comparison of stable and unstable atoms of the element carbon.
