Yes.
A Curie (Ci) is 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second, and corresponds to about 1 gram of Radium-226.
A Becqueral (Bq) is 1 disintegration per second, corresponding to about 2.7 x 10-11 Ci.
Also used is the microcurie, µCi, which is about 2.22 x 106 disintegrations per minute, corresponding to about 10 times the normal amount of Potassium-40 contained in a human body.

What is the rate of decay of a radioactive element is measured by?
By Becquerels, which is one disintegration per second, or by curies, which is 3.3x1010 disintegrations per second.
How fast a radioactive element decays is given by is what?
It,s half life.The time it takes to emit 50% of the radioactive emission it did when first counted.
What are the differences between proportional counter and gm counters in radiation monitoring?
The proportional counter is operating in linear mode, so the energy pulse measured by the detector is proportional to the energy of the radioactive particle. Thus, the average current flow in the detector is a function of both the activity (curies) and the energy (kEv) of the source. This detector is better at measuring the dose rate of the source. The Geiger-Muller detector, on the other hand, operates in avalanche mode, so the energy pulse measured by the detector is not proportional to the energy of the radioactive particle. Thus, the average current flow in the detector is a function of only the activity (curies) of the source. This detector is better at measuring the activity of the source, and can be more sensitive to lower energy particles, at the loss of discrimination of what those particles are.

How is concentrated measured?
Radon radioactivity is measured in becquerels (Bq) where1 becquerel = to the disintegration of one atomic nucleus per second* Concentration in air is measured in Bq/m3 or pCi/L (pico Curies per liter) * Concentrations in water is measured in Bq/l (becquerel per liter) * To transform from one unit to the other use this formula: 1 pCi/L = 37 Bq/m3

How did Marie curies invention change history?
she was first researcher to find the artificial radio -activity. In our modern world ,we had prepared many isotopes using the concept of Marie curie and which are useful in medicine, archeology and many other fields .thus her invention created a new history in medicine using artificial isotope.

What has been one of the most lasting results of the Curies' research?
She discovered radio activity. These energies called polonium and radium are now used to treat cancer.
What else did the Curies discover?
they
What are petite curies?
Petite curies are small x-ray laboratories. The term is a reference to the amount of radiation involved.
One of the most radioactive elements discovered by the curies was uranium?
No. The Curies did not discover uranium. They discovered polonium and radium, of which polonium is more radioactive.
What were maria curies scientific discoveries?
