What kind of radiactive elements are used in the field of chemistry?
These are the radioactive elements. See this link.
How isotopes can be used to benefit humans?
Doctors can use radioactive isotopes to treat certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer. Geologists use isotopes to date some rocks and fossils.
What method do geologists use to determine the absolute age of rocks?
Radioactive dating is used to determine the absolute ages of rocks. By Jennifer Palos
How have scientists used radioactive dating to show that earth is about 4.6 billion years old?
by defining the age of rocks
Describe two ways that radioactive isotopes are used in biomedical research?
radioactive elements, tracers, are used in molecular research to investigate the movement of atoms and molecules through a biological system. At various intervals the movement of the radioactive atoms can be traced using photographic film.
What types of elements are useful for dating materials?
Radioactive elements are used to date the age of rocks. Radioactive elements decay according to a known pattern. Scientists can use the elements of that pattern to determine when the rock with the original radioactive element was formed.
Why are radioactive materials used to date rocks rocks?
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
How do radioactive elements be used to date fossils?
brick
Uranium 238 is commonly used to date rocks briefly describe the radioactive decay processes of U-238 and explain why U-238 is used for the purpose of dating rocks?

Which radioactive element used in AIDS treatment?
Radioactive elements are not used in the treatment of AIDS.
What elements are used in radioactive dating?
don't know
What kind of radiactive elements are used in the field of chemistry?
These are the radioactive elements. See this link.
How is radioactive decay used to date rocks?
Radioactive decay is used to date rocks by measuring the amount of parent and daughter isotopes in a sample. The rate of decay of a radioactive isotope is constant, allowing scientists to calculate the age of a rock by comparing the ratios of parent and daughter isotopes present. This technique is known as radiometric dating and can be used to determine the age of rocks millions to billions of years old.
What radioactive element is not commonly used in dating archaeological artefacts?
The most often used radioactive elements used in radiometric dating are carbon, potassium-argon and uranium-lead.Other elements are not, or very rarely used.
Radioactive element used for nuclear energy?
One of the radioactive elements used for nuclear energy is 235U92, commonly stated as U-235.
How isotopes can be used to benefit humans?
Doctors can use radioactive isotopes to treat certain types of cancer, such as prostate cancer. Geologists use isotopes to date some rocks and fossils.
Are all the radioactive elements found in the last group of the Periodic Table?
No, many other elements are radioactive or have radioactive isotopes. Examples of this are carbon 14, which is used in carbon dating, Radon, Krypton, Hydrogen, Iodine, and many others.
