Les isotopes sont utilisés sous la forme gazeuse, ou sous forme de composés chimiques gazeux. Dans le mélange, les molécules sont animées de vitesses d'«agitation thermique». Dans un gaz à l'équilibre, les énergies se répartissent d'une manière identique entre les molécules «lourdes» et les molécules «légères». 6, record 1, French, - diffusion%20gazeuse
