Which element is poisoness when inhaled?
Plutonium is considered a very toxic element; it accumulates in the body without being easily metabolized or eliminated, doses as low as 5,000 total particles can be enough to increase the risk of cancer, and its half-life of 87 years is a good match for an average human lifetime. The halflife of Plutonium-239 is not 87 years, it is 24,200 years. I cannot find any isotope of plutonium with a halflife near 87 years, so I don't know where that came from.
What is the use of carbon 14?
It is used to determin the age of different organic materials, by measuring the amount of carbon-14 in a material, compared to the amount of carbon-12.
When was Illadelph Halflife created?
Illadelph Halflife was created on 1996-09-24.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
Will Valve be releasing a HalfLife 4?
Yes.
Where does nuclear energy get its power?
From the fissioning of the nuclei of uranium235 and plutonium239. The energy released appears as thermal energy in the surrounding fuel material
Can you use halflife to determine when dinosaurs died?
yes
What is the correct order of nuclear decay mode for the changes from U-238 to U-234?
U-238 --> alpha + gamma + Th-234, halflife 4.51E9 yearsTh-234 --> beta- + gamma + Pa-234, halflife 24.10 daysPa-234 --> beta- + gamma + U-234, halflife 6.66 hours
Is lambda the halflife logo?
The logo has a border, however the lambda is in the center.
Is lithium 8 an isotope why?
Yes, but it has a halflife of only 0.86 seconds.
Meaning of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is energy released either by fissioning of heavy nuclei such as Uranium235 or Plutonium239, or by fusion of light isotopes such as those of hydrogen.
How to make nuclear bomb-?
To make a nuclear bomb, you need the fissionable material such as a Plutonium239 isotope, an explosive to start the nuclear chain reaction, a detonator, and a pusher.
What is the halflife of Carbon-11?
The half-life of carbon-11 is 20.334 minutes.
Where can I download halflife that works on my removable drive?
Go out and buy it. You can't download it.
