Remember, radioactive fallout on a surface does not make the surface itself radioactive. The particles themselves are radioactive, not the surface they come in contact with. The surface can usually be cleaned of any contamination

When an atom undergoes radioactive decay the energy released in the reaction comes from what?
The energy that comes from the radioactive decay of an atom can come from the electrons and can come from the strong force inside the nucleus.
Why does temperature increases with depth?
This is chiefly due to the fact that the earth's core is incredibly hot--perhaps hotter than the surface of the sun (most of the heat in the core comes from the radioactive decay of elements). Friction from convection in the mantle also adds heat, and near the surface (within the crust) pressure has an effect on increasing temperature at depth.
What happens after sodium comes in contact with water?
when sodium comes in contact with water,it results in an exothermic reaction to give sodium hydroxide.
How might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in carbon dioxide comes from sugar or oxygen gas?
Radiolabel the sugar oxygens, then carry out the reaction and see if the carbon dioxide that's released is radioactive or not. Alternatively, you could use radioactive oxygen gas.

A footsteps on the surface of the moon lasts?
The footsteps last permanently on the surface of the moon until an object comes in contact with them. In case you were curious, the reason why the footsteps will last so long is because the moon does not have an atmosphere interacting with the surface.
When does hydration in concrete start?
As soon as the Cement comes into contact with water. This will start as soon as the cement and aggregates come into contact unless the aggregates have been dried of all surface water.
