Why is radioactive Strontium Ninety very dangerous to your health?
Strontium 90 is beta active with a half life of 28 years. It tends to be absorbed in the body's bones and therefore it can give a continued dose for years which can affect the bone marrow. See link to Wikipedia

How do radioactive nuclides affect photographic film wrapped in light proof paper?
Gamma radiation can easily pass through paper and cause fogging on film. This is radiation identical to light except it has higher frequency and energy, generally higher than x-rays.
Will the radioactive property remain in an ionic compound when a metal element is highly radioactive combined with a non-metal element which is non-radioactive?
A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.
What ray does not affect the photographic plate?
cathode rays
How do solar flares affect communication?
A solar flare is a huge explosion that occurs on the surface of the sun. These explosions emit large amounts of radioactive material into space that can find its way to Earth. This radioactive material thrown from the sun during a solar flare can interfere with the magnetic fields of Earth, according to NASA.
What is the effect of humidity and temperature on radioactive elements?
Temperature and humidity do not affect radioactive decay.
How do minerals containing uranium darken photographic film?
Emitting alpha particles and gamma rays. These rays affect the photographic emulsion. The natural radioactivity of uranium was discovered by Henri Becquerel in 1896.
Is computer heat radioactive?
Maybe, b'cos of the small amounts of radioactive materials used in them( NOT SO SURE). that may affect us.
How do x rays affect photographic plates?
X-rays will "Fog" photographic plates. That means the plates act as if 'exposed' to light. If the X-rays are intense enough, the plates will appear to be totally exposed.
Is titanium used in nuclear weapons?
Titanium is a super strong light weight material normally used in aircraft. it makes things more scratch/damage resistant and ina bomb would probally affect the explosion and cost to much to make. id be suprised if they use mroe than lead/steel mix (lead to contain radioactive material). odds are you are thinking uranium which is radioactive and used in nukes.
What is the effect of pressure on the rate of radioactive decay?
Pressure does not affect the rate of radioactive decay. That is entirely unaffected by the environment within the nucleus of the atom.
Why can the effects of radioactive decay on the body be useful and harmful?
Radioactive materials released from a source can affect the human body via a number of pathways. Some may be transported by winds or water to our vicinity. These radioactive substances can affect us through direct irradiation and may be inhaled or ingested.
How do physical and chemical changes affect radioactivity?
They don't - which is why radioactive dating works.
