What is the daughter product for the beta decay of iodine-136?
We know that iodine-131 will undergo beta minus decay, and an electron will appear as a result. (An electron antineutrino will also be produced, but we don't want to go there in this topic.)
What happens to Iodine-125 brachytherapy seeds after decay?
Iodine-125 (53125I) decays by beta+ decay, with a half-life of 59.4 days, to tellurium-125 (52125Te), which is stable and non-radioactive.
What decaying radioisotope produces xenon-131 through beta decay?
Iodine 131 -> Xe 131 + e-
How many protons electrons and neutrons respectively does iodine have?
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
Why does the concentration of iodine ions remains constant in the iodine clock reaction?
Iodine ion is not consumed; in the first step the iodine ion is oxidized to iodine, in the second step iodine is reduced to iodine ion.
When iodine-123 were discovered?
In 1811, Iodine-123 was discovered by Bernard Courtois.
Why are iodine 123 safe in the body?
it has no strong chemical reaction
What organ uses iodine-123 as a tracer?
Thyroid tissue.

What is the common isotopes of the element of tellurium?
Some common radionuclides that can be produced from tellurium-124 are Iodine-123 and Iodine-124.
What does iodine 125 decay into?
It decays by electron capture to an excited state of tellurium-125.
What decaying radioisotope produces xenon-131 through beta decay?
Iodine 131 -> Xe 131 + e-
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of iodine?
Here is the equation for the beta minus decay of iodine-131: 53131I => 54131Xe + e- + ve The iodine-131 undergoes a transformation when a down quark within a neutron in its nucleus changes into an up quark. This change is mediated by the weak interaction, or weak force. The neutron then becomes a proton, and an electron is created and ejected from the nucleus along with an antineutrino.

How many days must elapse for a 0.80 Mg sample of iodine-131 in the thyroid to decay to 0.10 Mg?
The time required is 24.06 days. The half life of iodine 131 is 8.02 days.
What is the isotope iodine 75?
There is no such isotope (75) known. Iodine (atom number 53, average atomic mass 127) has 53 protons and 70 up till 82 neutrons. The lowest known isotope number therefor is 123.
How many protons electrons and neutrons respectively does iodine have?
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
