When the amount of a radioactive substance is reduced by 50 percent what has occurred?
Half-Life APEX (; xoxo
Is there any way to change the average amount of radiation emitted from a radioactive substance?
No, there is none at all. Shielding can be placed around it to limit exposure, but it has no effect on what the substance is emitting.
Is density an intensive property or extensive property?
Intensive because it doesn't depend on the amount of material.
What is the relationship between radioactive isotope and radioactive dating?
In radiometric dating, the amount of a certain radioactive isotope in an object is compared with a reference amount. This ratio can then be used to calculate how long this isotope has been decaying in the object since its formation. For example, if you find that the amount of radioactive isotope left is one half of the reference amount, then the amount of time since the formation of the object would be equal to that radioactive isotope's half-life.
Determine the amount of radioactive material in a package of radioactive materials you would look at the?
label
What is the amount of energy of motion of each particle in a substance?
Temperature
What average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance is called?
It is a measure of the thermodynamic temperature of the substance.
What is a term for the average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance?
temperature
The average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance is calledtemperature?

How do you determine the half life of a radioactive substance that has changed through radioactive decay After 40 days the original substance left is is one sixteenth of the original amount?
the halflife is 10 days
When the amount of a radioactive substance is reduced by 50 percent what has occurred?
Half-Life APEX (; xoxo
What does not affect the half-life or a radioactive substance?
The temperature The total amount of the substance The addition of a catalyst ~
The radioactive substance Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years. After 1000 years there is 2.66 grams remaining. What was the initial amount of the substance?
3.002 grams, approx.
Is there any way to change the average amount of radiation emitted from a radioactive substance?
No, there is none at all. Shielding can be placed around it to limit exposure, but it has no effect on what the substance is emitting.
What happens to the amount of radiation a radioactive substance emits when you heat it up or cool it down?
when you heat up or cool down radioactive substances, nothing changes how much radiation it emits.
What is the average amount of energy of motion of each particle in a substance?
The average amount of energy of motion (also known as kinetic energy) in the particles of a substance (atoms and molecules) is measured by the temperature of that substance. More energy will produce a higher temperature.
How does the aquactic life gets affected due to the prsence of large amount of thorium?
Being radioactive thorium in large quantities is dangerous.
