Absorbtion?

[edit]

Untitled

[edit]

In the section titled 'In the Environment', it is mentioned that pertechnetate and iodide ions are unlikely to absorb onto the surface of rocks. I know that generally, something becoming attached to the surface of something is known as adsorbtion. Should this be changed, or is absorbtion actually what happens here? 209.237.95.175 (talk) 04:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Isotope in stars

[edit]

This specific isotope is produced by stars with the s-process, and its short lifespan means the nucleosynthesis is currently active.[1] In the atmospheres of AGB stars, it is an indicator of third dredge-up.[2] Praemonitus (talk) 21:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
