You can detect radioactivity using a Geiger counter or other radiation detectors. Radioactive materials emit ionizing radiation such as alpha, beta, or gamma particles, which can be measured to determine the level of radioactivity. Additionally, certain properties like half-life and decay products can also indicate if a substance is radioactive.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call something that is radioactive?
Something that is radioactive is called a radionuclide.
True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?
No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
Is radioactive radiation an element compound homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?
Hydrogen is an element.
What are the requirements for something to be radioactive?
For an object to be considered radioactive, it must contain unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, emitting radiation in the process. Common radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and radium. The level of radioactivity is measured by the rate at which the atoms decay, typically expressed in units such as becquerels or curies.
Why only radioactive element give out radiation?
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
What do you call something that is radioactive?
Something that is radioactive is called a radionuclide.
Were can you find a radioactive spider?
There are no radioactive spiders. This is something from a movie, and has never happened. There is no way to find images of radioactive spiders.
Which radioactive isotope is most often used in when scientist what to know the age of something?
Carbon-14 (12 Protons & electrons, and 14 Neutrons)
How do you use radioactive as an adjective in a sentence?
You can just put something in the sentence that is going to be radioactive that's all.
What does it mean for something to be radioactive?
its nuclei can split apart
Is rabbit feces radioactive?
No. There is no reason why rabbit feces should be radioactive, unless of course they ate something radioactive or they are under medical care using radioactive isotopes. It might be possible that if the soil is radioactive, and the plants become radioactive, that a rabbit might excrete radioactive feces from eating the plants.
If something is radioactive is it toxic?
Yes some things that are radioactive are toxic. Being able to harm an exposed organism.
What two metals are radioactive?
Uranium and ummm something else
What elements are used in radioactive dating?
don't know
Is radioactive atoms the same as the sun?
No. The sun is made up of a ball of gases, and the only radioactive gas we know of is Radon. Also, most radioactive elements are man-made.
What happens when you touch something that's radioactive?
You grow an extra limb or two.
What plants have radioactive waste?
All plants have radioactive waste, especially fossil fuel plants.
