What is used in an atomic bomb?
Any heavy radioactive element can be used. Like uranium.
How is hydrogen and heavy water different from hydrogen and normal water?
Heavy water is water whose atomic structure consists of oxygen and heavy hydrogen. Heavy hydrogen, or deuterium, is hydrogen with neutrons in its nuclei.
How is thorium used in the human body?
Thorium has no biological role. Thorium is a heavy, radioactive metal which is not used in the human body.
What are the unique properties of actinide metals?
They are mostly Synthetic elements (when nuclear particles are forced to crash into one another by a particle accelerator (machine)). These Elements are Radioactive.
What characterizes a radioactive element?
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
Why is water containing tritium called heavy water?
No, heavy water contains deuterium not tritium. Water containing tritium is very expensive and radioactive. Heavy water is not radioactive.add. Tritiated material is used in some of the 'permanently' glowing markings on watches. This is no radiation hazard as long as it is not ingested.Didn't say there was a radiation hazard, just that it is radioactive. Big difference.
Is heavy water healthy as they say?
Small amounts of heavy water will do no harm, and it is used in some medical investigations, but only a few grams. Large amounts seem to affect cell division and have caused death in experiments with animals, but you would have to drink several liters to suffer any effect. Note that heavy water that has been used in a reactor (such as the Candu type) will contain tritium which is radioactive, but that is a factor which does not apply to heavy water as produced from normal water, which is not radioactive. Normal water contains about 1 part in 3200 of hydrogen as deuterium, which of course is the source for production.
How can water become radioactive?
Yes they all are A small percentage of each element in all existence is radioactive and some elements are nearly 100% radioactive if not exactly 100% radioactive, so encountering radioactivity in air, soil, and water is inevitable.
Is cell food heavy water?
No. Heavy water refers to water formed with a majority of the heavier isotopes of hydrogen, which are very radioactive; this water can be used to transport such isotopes more easily. Cells use many different chemicals to get their energy, but water is a product of the process, not an "ingredient".
How long is the half life of radioactive water?
The half life of radioactive water depends on what radioactive nuclides are present in the water.
What does a synchrotron create?
super heavy radioactive elements
What does synchrotron create?
super heavy radioactive elements
What is the radioactive half-life of water?
Ordinary water is not radioactive, so it has no half-life.
What makes americium radioactive?
Because the nucleus of americium is heavy and unstable.
Where you can find the radioactive substance?
Those substances which are made of heavy metals are termed as radioactive substances. e.g. u-235...etc
What is used in an atomic bomb?
Any heavy radioactive element can be used. Like uranium.
What are some physical properties of neptunium?
Heavy, radioactive silvery metal. See link below
