What absorbs radioactivity?
lead
What does uranium become when its lost its radioactivity?
Uranium becomes lead
How long has there been radioactivity?
Radioactivity is since creation of universe.
What is the material commonly used to shield living beings from potentially harmful radioactivity?
Lead
Which type of radioactivity would be most dangerous if you were exposed to it from a source outside of your body?
Gamma radioactivity would be the most dangerous because, unlike alpha particles that can be blocked by paper or skin, and beta particles which can be shielded by foil, gamma radioactivity would need a lead shield. Plus gamma radioactivity effects organic material.
What materials are commonly used to shield living beings from potentially harmful radioactivity?
The protective apron used by dentists contains lead, which is highly opaque to radioactivity. (You would also notice that if you read Superman comic books; lead is used to safely contain kryptonite.)
If water containing radioactive oxygen were given to plants in what end product of photosynthesis would you find radioactivity?
Yes, you will find radioactivity as one of the end product of photosynthesis if the water containing radioactive oxygen is given to plants.
What element is used to shield humans from radioactivity?
Usually lead (Pb) because it is a cheap heavy metal.
What is the radioactivity for lead?
The main lead isotopes 206Pb, 207Pb and 208Pb, are not radioactive. It does have traces of radioactive isotopes, but the quantity is so small that lead's radioactivity can be considered zero. It is however toxic if ingested.
Why you use lead chamber in radioactivity?
Anything works to stop radiation but lead is effective, safe and easy to handle, and relatively inexpensive. Seriously, check cost of lead vs depleted uranium.
Do all elements have some degree of radioactivity?
no not all of it and im a girl
What do the omens have in common in the pigman?
