it is made in stuff.
It's the same as uranium
expon 131
No. However one of the fission products produced is Iodine-131 and it appears in the fallout. Iodine-131 is a dangerous beta and gamma emitter with a halflife of 8.05 days, it concentrates in the thyroid gland and can selectively kill it or cause cancers in it. Fortunately the halflife is only just over a week, because it then practically disappears in about 5 to 6 weeks. This allows Iodine-131 contaminated food and drink (e.g. fresh milk) to be stored and then safely used when the Iodine-131 has decayed. This also makes it possible to protect the thyroid gland by saturating it with ordinary Iodine (usually as potassium iodide pills) until the Iodine-131 has decayed.
The answer is simple it is 8 days for iodine-131 but it depends on what isotope you are talking about
Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope of the element iodine.
The thyroid gland is often imaged using a salt of iodine-131 as this gland has a high uptake of iodine.
Fission product xenon-131
Iodine 131 has a half-life of 8.0197 days. Barium has no half-life. So no, Iodine-131 is not more stable than barium-137.
Iodine-131 (not iodone) is a radioactive isotope of iodine: this isotope has important applications in the treatment of thyroid diseases.
Iodine is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 127.
Iodine-131 is not natural, matter of fact it is a synthetically produced isotope (im doing this for my science assignment aswell)
I-131.
Iodine 131 -> Xe 131 + e-
