What else can I help you with?
When one material is embedded into another material the resulting material is called a?
composite material.
What is to cover thoroughly with another material?
To envelop completely with another material to protect, conceal, or enhance the object beneath.
What is a measure of the amount of a material that will dissolve in another material?
Solubility is the measure of the amount of a material that will dissolve in another material, typically expressed in grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent. It can vary based on factors such as temperature and pressure.
What is another name for contamination?
Another name for contamination is pollution. Pollution refers to the presence of harmful or unwanted substances in the environment, typically caused by human activities.
When water soaks into another material?
When water soaks into another material, it means that the water is able to penetrate or be absorbed by that material. This can happen with porous materials such as cloth, paper, or soil, where water is able to seep into the spaces within the material.
What is another term for unwanted sound?
Another term for unwanted sound is noise.
What contains information that is passed on from one genration to another?
Genetic material: DNA and RNA
What happens to a radioactive material over time?
It disintegrates into its daughter nuclei that are much more stabler than the radioactive nuclei. If a sample of radioacictive material is left it will decay into another element over a period of time. Note that complete decay is not possible. A fraction of the original radioactive material will always remain in the sample.
What is an autoradiogram?
An autoradiogram is another word for an autoradiograph - a photograph image produced by placing a film in contact with a specimen containing radioactive material.
If a substance is radioactive is its compound radioactive?
Yes. A radioactive atom is a radioactive atom. If that atom exists as a single atom and is uncombined and it is radioactive, it's radioactive. If that same atom is chemically combined with another or other atoms, it's still radioactive. It's just that simple.
Is radioactivity a gas?
Some gases are radioactive, however, there are many solids that are also radioactive, like Uranium and Plutonium. Another source of radioactivity is liquids, produced as a byproduct from atomic power plants. A fourth class of radioactive material are aerosols, which are composed of radioisotopes.
What is a combination that contains material that is dissolved into another?
A solution. Solutions are made up of a solute, which is the item dissolved, and a solvent, the item doing the dissolving.
Can a radioactive object make another object radioactive when it touches it?
Mostly no, but it depends on the nature of the two objects. Radioactive objects are usually emitters of alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons), and/or gamma rays (high-energy photons). None of those will usually induce secondary radioactivity in other objects. However, if neutrons are emitted, they can often penetrate the nuclei in another object, and if successfully absorbed there, can produce an unstable (radioactive) isotope. Also, if the source radioactive object is producing radon gas as a decay product, that can also be absorbed by some materials and start generating radiation there. (This does not require that it be "touching".)
Over time what will happend to the radioactive atom?
They experience radioactive decay. They emit radiation, changing the state of their nucleus, usually by the loss of protons and neutrons. However, this process is completely random; it can only be predicted as a half-life, or the amount of time it takes half of a certain material to decay. This does not predict when an individual atom will decay, it only predicts when approximately half of the material will have decayed.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
What is another word for feeling unwanted?
Abandoned
A particular element has a half-life of 27 days After 54 days have elapsed how much of the radioactive material is left?
1/4. After 27 days, half of the material will have decayed. After another 27 days half of the remaining material will have decayed. Half of half is 1/4.
