Isotopes are separated by:

  • A.Crystallisation
  • B.Sublimation
  • C.Distillation
  • D.Filtration

Answer: C

Isotopes are separated by fractional distillation, and by other methods that exploit the small difference their masses make - diffusion, centrifugation, electromagnetic separation.

Chemical methods cannot separate them, since isotopes of an element are chemically identical; only the mass differs, and the difference is largest for the lightest elements.
