Is nobelium radioactive?
Nobelium is not found in nature. It is a synthetic radioactive element.
How are isotopes used to keep food from spoiling?
Typically, dehydration and irradiation. The causes of most food spoilage is the growth of bacteria in the moist environment of the food. Irradiation can kill all the bacteria, so as long as the package is sealed, no bacteria can grow there. And dehydration removes most of the water from the food so that it takes up less space and weight, and stays edible for longer times.
Why is radon poisonous if it is unreactive?
Because radon is a very radioactive and dangerous gas. The irradiation can destroy or damage living cells.
Why is food sometimes radioactive?
the soil can get radioactive poisining. The plants can then use that soil and absorb the radioactive chemical. It the is in our food and that is that
Why can the effects of radioactive decay on the body be useful and harmful?
Radioactive materials released from a source can affect the human body via a number of pathways. Some may be transported by winds or water to our vicinity. These radioactive substances can affect us through direct irradiation and may be inhaled or ingested.
How can be harmful?
Thorium is a radioactive metal. Alpha rays irradiation can be dangerous.
Is nobelium radioactive?
Nobelium is not found in nature. It is a synthetic radioactive element.
How can thorium be harmful?
Thorium is a radioactive metal. Alpha rays irradiation can be dangerous.

Is irradiation the same as radioactive iodine?
Nearly 100% of iodine found in nature is stable, though there are traces of 129I, which is radioactive and only found in insignificant quantities. Like all elements, iodine has synthetic radioactive isotopes.
Why is radon poisonous if it is unreactive?
Because radon is a very radioactive and dangerous gas. The irradiation can destroy or damage living cells.
What are the harmful effects of francium?
Being very radioactive francium is dangerous. Irradiation destroy body cells and cause cancers.
Who won the 1938 Nobel Peace Prize in physics?
A native from Italy, Enrica Ferni - for demonstrating the existence of radioactive elements produced for neutron irradiation. Enrico Fermi Italy "for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons"
How does irradiation preserve food?
Irradiation preserves food by destroying microbes just as heat does in the canning process. In both processes, the food must have been first sealed in a container e.g., a can, jar, or pouch.
How does nuclear chemistry apply to food chemistry?
One method of preservating food is by irradiation.
What technology is the most effective at fighting food-borne bacteria?
irradiation
Is the irradiation safe for food treatment?
Yes, it is safe in controlled conditions.
