Abstract
The chemical consequences of isomeric transitions in the nuclei Te127, Te129, and Te131 have been investigated in aqueous solutions of varying composition. The nuclear reaction gives rise to chemical reduction or oxidation, and a mechanism has been proposed to account for the observed effects. Evidence has been advanced which indicates that the maximum efficiency of the chemical separation of the nuclear isomers can be taken as a measure of the degree of internal conversion.Keywords
