How are tacers used to help with medical diagnosis?
A radioactive isotope which, when attached to a chemically similar substance or injected into a biological or physical system, can be traced by radiation detection devices, permitting determination of the distribution or location of the substance to which it is attached. Also known as radiotracer.
The processes of bone scan imagining and radiocarbon dating are what?
similar because they both depend on spontaneous radioactive decay
How similar are the mixtures and substance?
how are the mixture of substances similar
How the mixture substance are similar?
how are the mixture of substances similar
How are a solution and a substance similar and how are they different?
A substance is matter that is uniform in composition. A substance can be an element or compound. A solution is another name for a homogeneous mixture. It is also uniform in composition, but a solution is made by physically combining two or more substances.
Which element is likely to be contained in a substance with a brilliant yellow color?
A common substance that will have a yellow color is the element sulfur (S). Another substance of similar brilliant color is yellow cake uranium (Ur).
What happens to a radioactive person?
Although all people do contain a small amount of radioactive isotopes in their bodes, making them slightly radioactive, it is not nearly a large enough dose to have any noticeable effects. But if you mean a person who is highly radioactive, then the most likely way for that to happen is if a radioactive substance were to enter that person's body. The effects of that would depend on the dose and the substance. For instance, plutonium, which emits alpha, beta and gamma rays causes radiation sickness and an increased chance of cancer. And radium which emits more alpha rays then beta or gamma rays and is much more radioactive then plutonium causing much the same effects and decays into radium. As radium is chemically similar to calcium, it can cause great harm by replacing calcium in the persons bones.
What are four properties of seaborgium?
radioactive, unstable, metallic, similar to wolfram
What is another word for the phrase exposed to radiation?
The generic term would be "irradiated", which is also used to mean illuminated but can be identified by its context. This is similar to the use of "contaminated" to mean radioactive.
What planets and celestial bodies seem to be radioactive?
Stars seem to be, but they don't have big and/or unstable atoms such as most radioactive elements have. They release sub atomic units when their atoms fuse, along with rays such as gamma rays, which is why they can seem to be similar to other radioactive things. Some planets with atmostpheres that are ionised by ionising rays can also be similar to radioactive things perhaps.
What is the relationship between half-life and the activity of the scource?
In general, the shorter the half-life of a radioactive substance, the more active it is. Think about it. Say you have two samples of radioactive material the size of sugar cubes. And let's say they have about the same number of atoms of the radioactive substance in them initially, but the substances are different. Substance A has a very short half-life. Substance B has an extremely long half-life. Let's look at what happens. In substance A, the material with the short half-life, atoms will be disintegrating at a high rate. There will be lots of radiation (with the type being determined by the method of decay), and it will have a high activity. It will be "hot" in the language of the physicist. Substance B will be taking its sweet time decaying. One atom here and one atom there will be decaying, and you could hold it in your hand for a while without doing much damage to yourself. In contrast, substance A would have to be kept in a containment cask to keep people who work around it safe from the radiation. For similar amounts of radioactive material, shorter half-lives mean higher activity. Having read this far, it should be simple and easy to see.
What is a radioactive nonmetal At Po Ra Xe none of these?
None of these options are correct. The radioactive nonmetal element is polonium (Po). It is a highly toxic and rare element that undergoes radioactive decay.
