What technique did Urey's research primarily involve?
Chromatography
Isotope Separation
Mass Spectrometry
X-ray Crystallography
Answer
Isotope separation, as pioneered by Harold Urey's research, is a technique used to separate isotopes of the same element based on their differing masses. This process is crucial in various fields, such as chemistry, physics, and nuclear science. Isotope separation enables the study of the properties and applications of specific isotopes, including those used in medicine, energy production, and research.
