Why do you choose isotopes with medium long half-lives as emitter in radiotheraphy?
Mainly for two reasons:to reduce as far as possible the radioactivity and hence reduce the radioactivity passive health effects; as the element radioactivity is inversely proportional to its the half live.To reduce as far possible the loss of the radioactive element through its radioactive decay during storage for non use.
Is radon used in neon signs?
No, the other noble gasses are however. Because of its radioactivity radon is simply too dangerous for use in lighting.
How is the use of radioactivity isotopes in treating some forms of cancer related to certain properties of gamma radiation?
The gamma radiation is very penetrant in biological tissues.
What is radioactivity how does it happen give some its importance.?
it happens naturally in nature.... all the time as some isomers of some elements are more reactive than others.... for example the H bomb is made of Hydrogen but not the regular one which has one neutron but has more neutrons.... radioactivity basically is the realise of those excess neutrons..... its important because we use it in medicine... and also because we use it to create electrical energy...
What did Marie Curie invent or discover?
She discovered radioactivity and the elements Radium and Polonium!
What is the spontaneous breakdown of the atomic nucleus called?
We use the general term radioactive decay to identify the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus.
What was Ernest Rutherford's area of expertise?
Ernest Rutherford was a physicist, whose expertise was the atom. He developed the model we use to understand the atom, converted one element into another, and explained radioactivity as the disintegration of atoms (for which he won the Nobel Prize).
What two medical applications of radioactivity?
We can use radioactivity to improve our lives, such as through medical diagnoses and treatments and by generating electricity.
What is the use of Gieger counter?

What is the deffense of duress also known as?
There is no other name for duress. Duress is the legal term in contract law. However, when the term is explained, it is explained as a form of coercion. Duress is often difficult to use a defense. To prove duress, you have to show that you were threatened into signing a contract. For instance, if your boss gave you a contract and told you that if you did not sign it that in turn you would be fired, then you could claim duress.
How was radioactivity developed?
Radioactivity was not developed, it has always existed. It was mostly the work of Madame Curie that paved the way for its use in many applications today. Unfortunately she died of radiation poison, though her work lives on.
What is a use of radioactivity materials in medicine?
Mainly twofold: kills dividing cells, used to visualize internal body.
