∙ 16y ago
The explanation is the effect of ionizing radiation on tissues and materials.
Three uses are:
- sterilizing of instruments and parapharmaceutic items
- diagnostic with radioactive isotopes (scintigraphy)
- treatment of cancers with radioactive isotopes

Are moon rocks radioactive?
No. At least no more than any other rocks. Almost all materials contain some trace of radioactive material.
Which atoms are least likely to be radioactive?
Generally, the smaller the nucleus, the less radioactive.
Are all transition elements are radioactive?
Not all of the transition elements are radioactive. Many of them are, and some of them have common radioactive isotopes, but some of them have no naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. Please note that all elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, at least.
What is the explanation for LCD?
Least Common Denominator
Can you get power from the radioactive element plutonium?
Yes, at least theoretically
Which noble gas has a radioactive isotope?
Radon is a noble gas and is radioactive. All of the other noble gasses have at least some synthetic radioactive isotopes. Radioactive isotopes of both krypton and argon exist in nature in trace quantities.
If you had a stable element 115 could you then have an isotope of it that would be non-radioactive?
If you had a stable element 115, then by definition there would need to be at least one non-radioactive isotope. Stable elements are those that have at least one nonradioactive isotope. Of course, the other isotopes of the element could all be radioactive.
What materials are the least dense?
Gas
Three products of radioactive decay from most penetrating to least?

What is the scientific explanation why do girls fall in love when you give them flowers and chocolates?
There's no "scientific explanation" for that, at least partly because it doesn't happen.
