Sodium 
from Wikipedia:
 
20 isotopes of sodium are known, but only 23Na is stable. Two radioactive, cosmogenic isotopes are the byproduct of cosmic ray spallation: 22Na with a half-life of 2.6 years and 24Na with a half-life of 15 hours; all other isotopes have a half-life of less than one minute.[9] Two nuclear isomers have been discovered, the longer-lived one being 24mNa with a half-life of around 20.2 microseconds. Acute neutron radiation, such as from a nuclear criticality accident, converts some of the stable 23Na in human blood to 24Na; by measuring the concentration of 24Na in relation to 23Na, the neutron radiation dosage of the victim can be calculated.[10]

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Question

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:

The Question:

This element is essential for all living things. The chemical industry 
consumes 60% and the food industry consumes 20% of the annual world 
production of this element. This element has no naturally occurring 
radioactive isotopes but one man made isotope has a half life of 15 hours 
and is used in the medical industry. This element plays a role in snow 
storms. A compound containing this element finds equal use in the bathroom 
and the kitchen. What element is being described?

The winner of the weekly element quiz  will get the services of Clumpy and 
Kloumpios for the week. 

So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
