Abstract
Segré, Halford and Seaborg1 demonstrated the isomeric filiation of bromine 80 by a chemical method on the basis of the Szilard-Chalmers process. We have carried out experiments in which the isomeric filiation is proved by a physical method, collecting the isomers when partly separated by means of an electric field using electrodes in a non-electrolytic solution.
