What was radium ond polium used for?
Radium: treatment by radiotherapy of some cancers, luminescent paintings for dials, neutron source as Ra-Be, uses in research laboratoryPolonium: radioactive heat source, neutron source as Po-Be, devices to eliminate dust and static elecrtricity, neutron trigger in nuclear weapons, uses in research laboratory
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
Is used in nuclear fission?
all you need in nuclear fission is a large element (235Uranium) and a neutron, the neutron goes into the Uranium causeing it to split into smaller parts grapes.
Neutron activation is done most easily at a nuclear reactor facility. Why can't a lamp or an X-ray tube be used to add neutrons to an object's nuclei?
A lamp or an X-ray tube cannot be used to "add neutrons" to other nuclei because lamps and X-ray tubes are not neutron sources. Neutron activation is generally something we do in an operating nuclear reactor. In the core of the reactor, there is a high neutron flux. Many, many neutrons are being released in the fissions that are going on in the nuclear core. Materials that are to be activated are lowered through ports and brought down into the neutron flux. Activation occurs. Lamps or X-rays do not produce neutrons, and cannot be used in neutron activation activities. No neutrons means no neutron activation.
What did mulan use to trigger the avalanche in the mountains?
She used a cannon.
What is the main purpose of polonium metal?
When it is mixed or alloyed with beryllium, polonium can be a neutron source: beryllium releases a neutron upon absorption of an alpha particle that is supplied by 210Po. It has been used in this capacity as a neutron trigger or initiator for nuclear weapons
What elements can be used as a neutron source?
the element that can be used as a neutron source is beryllium
What was radium ond polium used for?
Radium: treatment by radiotherapy of some cancers, luminescent paintings for dials, neutron source as Ra-Be, uses in research laboratoryPolonium: radioactive heat source, neutron source as Po-Be, devices to eliminate dust and static elecrtricity, neutron trigger in nuclear weapons, uses in research laboratory
What is a trigger lock?
A trigger lock is used for gun safety. It is a mechanism that goes over the trigger and locks to prevent the trigger from being pulled.
What is californium used for?
Some applications of californium: - neutron source as Cf-Be source - neutron source for neutron activation analysis (portable installations) - neutron radiography - irradiation for some cancers treatment - nuclear fuel rod scanning - neutron source to detect water, petroleum, metals, methane etc.
How strong are neutron stars?
Strong is not a term used for a neutron star. If you mean density, then see related question.
How is californium used?
The isotope 252Cf is a very strong neutron source; some applications are: - neutron's detectors for water and petroleum - control of nuclear fuel rods - treatment of some cancers by neutron irradiation - neutron radiography in industry - neutron activation analysis in mobile installations
What is californium used on?
The isotope 252Cf is a very strong neutron source; some applications are: - neutron's detectors for water and petroleum - control of nuclear fuel rods - treatment of some cancers by neutron irradiation - neutron radiography in industry - neutron activation analysis in mobile installations
Roy rogers steed is the one who pulls the?
Roy Roger's steed was "Trigger", a beautiful palomino stallion. After Trigger passed on, he rode Trigger's son, "Trigger, Jr.". Trigger was never used to pull anything, only to ride.
Can ujt be used to trigger scr?
no
What expirenment was used to discover the neutron in 1932?
1932
What are the uses of neutrons?
1. Neutron is used in nuclear reactor 2. It also used for the determination of molecular structure by the diffraction which occurs when a substance is subected in neutron flux
