What type of radiation is emitted by thorium?
Thorium-232 is an alpha emitter; rarely decay by spontaneous fission or double beta decay are possible.
Which is the most dangerous type of nuclear radiation if the source is outside the body?
Gamma
What Ways to deliver biological agents?
which type of device includes any point source that emits radiation
Which type of sediment can be found far from its source explain?
Sediment that is finer than sand is sometimes deposited in layers far from its source.
Is radiation a measure of the average kineic energy of the particles in an object?
No, radiation is not a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object. Radiation refers to the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or particles from a source. The energy of radiation can vary depending on the type and source, and it is not directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.
Is thorium a type of natural radiation?
Thorium is not a radiation but a chemical element, metal, natural and radioactive.

What type of bond form is thorium?
As a metal thorium has metallic bonds; in compounds ionic bonds are formed.
What type of a resource is Thorium?
