What are the similarities between natural and artificial radioactive?

Answer 1

artificial radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors and accelerators whereas natural radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration of nucleolus of an atom. This process occurs in elements having atomic number greater than 83

Answer 2

there are naturaly occurring radioactive substances, radon rocks underground break down or decay releasing radon gas, this is radioactive but not enough to damage. this makes up part of the worlds natural background radiation as well as other isotopes of different elements, if you don't know, an isotope is a variation of an element with a different ammount of neutrons, for example pottasium's most abundant form is k39 this means that pottasium has 39 protons and neutrons. potassium 39 actually has 19 protons, so there are 20 neutrons in potassium, the isotope potasium 40 has 21 neutrons and is radioactive, it is also found in bananas so bananas are radioactive, to a small degree. artificial radiation is anything that is made by humans, like nuclear reactors.

Answer 3

Artificial radioactive nuclides: all the isotopes obtained artificially (man made) in laboratory.

Answer 4

Natural radioactivity comes from radioactive elements present in nature. Artificial radioactivity comes from elements created in nuclear reactors and accelerators.

Answer 5

Natural isotopes are isotopes that occur in nature. Artificial isotopes are isotopes that are man-made, or created in a lab.

Answer 6

Natural radioactive nuclides are found naturally on earth while artificial radioactive nuclides are not.
