Not much.
There are various forms of radioactivity. A material can emit alpha particles, beta particles (high energy electrons), neutrons, gamma rays (high energy photos), or you can ingest it.
If you eat, breathe or inject a radioactive material, it will be inside you and you will become "radioactive" in that you will emit particles or radiation. This is how PET works - the doctor injects a short-lived isotope and tracks the positrons emitted by them with a detector, so can track, say, the uptake of glucose in your brain.
If you sit on a lump of radioactive material, the radiation will damage your skin and body
to an extent depending on the intensity and type of radiation. If an emitted particle
changes an atom in your body to an unstable isotope, this will later decay by emitting
a particle itself. In this sense you will have been made "radioactive". This is I believe very unlikely - the side effects of radiation damage would kill you long before you had become significantly radioactive just from contact. A particle is more likely to break chemical bonds
and create free radicals than to create a new isotope.
What else can I help you with?
When food is irradiated with gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source does the food become radioactive?
No. Gamma rays will not make materials radioactive.
When you make a what you make a decision to believe something about something as true?
hypothesis
Is there something that can make you purposely forget something?
talking
Which of the following is characteristic of patters?
The question refers to the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?
What is an example of a sentence using the word exposure?
while taking a picture. Make sure Exposure settings are correct.
Does exposure to gamma make a person radioactive?
No, exposure to gamma rays does not make a person radioactive. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of gamma radiation can cause damage to cells and tissues, leading to radiation sickness or long-term health effects.
How can radioactive contamination occur?
Radioactive contamination is also known as radiological contamination. It is the deposition, or presence of radioactive substances on surfaces within solids, liquids, or gases. There presence is unintended or undesirable.
What is the difference between conceal and exposure?
Conceal means to hide or keep something secret, while exposure means to reveal or make something known. Concealment involves covering up or hiding something, while exposure involves bringing something into view or making it public.
What is the verb of exposure?
The verb form of "exposure" is "expose." It means to reveal, uncover, or make something visible to others.
What do you do to make a radioactive spider out of chemicals?
Radioactive chemicals would kill a real spider. Real life is not the same as the comics.
Does a radioactive spider make you a spider?
That's just the movies-it would probably die in the process, if not you would get radioactivity poisoning,.
What does the word familiarize mean?
The word "familiarize" means to make someone or yourself familiar with or knowledgeable about something by personal experience or exposure. It involves making something seem more natural or easy to understand through repeated practice or exposure.
What does darmstadtium make?
By radioactive decay of Ds other radioactive isotopes are appearing.
Is plutonium dangerous in its raw form?
Yes, plutonium is highly radioactive and poses significant health risks in its raw form due to its emissions of alpha particles. Exposure to even small amounts of plutonium can be harmful and potentially fatal. Proper handling and containment are necessary to prevent exposure to this hazardous material.
Does internal radiation therapy make people radioactive?
Patients receiving internal radiation therapy do become temporarily radioactive
What offers the best hope for safe long term containment of radioactive wastes?
I would say transporting it to Pluto, where it would be harmless. On Earth, maybe encase it in a gigantic lead box? Cement -- radioactive water combines to make a solid.
If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?
As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.
