What element is the most radioactive lithium sodium or potassium?
All the three elements are generally non-radioactive.
Why doesn't potassium always form precipitate in acqueos solution?
its radioactive substance...
What is the mass number of potasium?
Potassium occurs naturally on earth in three isotopes with mass numbers 39, 40, and 41. Of these, the isotope K-40 is known to be radioactive, but has a very long half life. There are many other radioactive isotopes of potassium.
How is argon formed?
Argon-40, the most common isotope is formed by the radioactive decay of potassium-40.
Which of these elements tend to be radioactive Am Ne K and U?
Am (Americium) and U (Uranium) both radio active. Ne (Neon) is an inert/noble gas. K (Potassium - latin ;Kalium) is not radioactive.
What are main radioactive materials?
Salt substitute - contains potassium chloride. A slight amount of naturally occuring potassium is radioactive.
Which causes maximum radioactive contamination out of there sodium radium potassium?
Radium, by a big margin. Radium has no isotopes that are not radioactive, but no naturally occurring isotopes of potassium or sodium are radioactive.
Why is uranium bad for humans and potassium not?
uranium is a radioactive substance which can cause mutations in cell while potassium is non-radioactive. in fact it is required in our body for transmission of nerve impulse and osmoregulation. ----------- Potassium-40 is also radioactive ! But uranium is also a toxic element and as a radioactive element is more dangerous that potassium (alpha particle emitter, gamma irradiation, radioactive descendents as radon).
Why are bannanas radioactive?
Nearly all living things contain a certain amount of radioactive material, mainly radioactive Carbon. Bananas absorb large amounts of Potassium, therefore also absorbing radioactive Potassium 40.
What element is the most radioactive lithium sodium or potassium?
All the three elements are generally non-radioactive.
Who is madee?
Most argon is made by radioactive decay of potassium-40.
Do bananas contain radioactive potassium?
Bananas are relatively high in potassium, but you need 4,700 mg of potassium per day and you'd have to eat about 11 bananas every day to get that. Potatoes are higher, at about 950 mg if you eat the skin as well. This all gets a lot harder if you're on a low/no carb diet. Eat Leafy green vegetables, red meat. Use No Salt (half salt/half potassium) and take a supplement. Very few humans can get all of what they need just from food every day.
What are the three naturally occurring isotopes of potassium?
99.988% of potassium found in nature is not radioactive. 0.012% of natural potassium is 40K, which is radioactive and has a half life of about 1,248,000,000 years. Like all other elements, synthetic radioactive isotopes of potassium exist.
Is the human body naturally radioactive?
The human body is naturally radioactive. The potassium found in the bodies of humans is the main cause of the radioactivity.
Who is argon made?
Most argon is made by radioactive decay of potassium-40.
How does argon form?
The commonest form is formed by the radioactive decay of potassium-40.
Who made argon?
Most argon is made by radioactive decay of potassium-40.
