How did radon get its name?
Radon gets its name from the Latin word "radon" which means "radiation" or "ray." It was named so because radon is a radioactive gas that emits alpha particles as it decays.
What will happen to a radioactive material when it is heated and at what point will it burn out completely?
Just like any other material, it gets warmer, most likely expands, and may transition from solid to liquid and/or from liquid to gas. If it's already in the gaseous state, then its pressure increases. Its rate of radioactive decay is not affected.
What happens if you touch radioactive material?
If you touch radioactive material, you may suffer from radiation exposure, which can lead to skin burns, radiation sickness, and an increased risk of developing cancer. It is important to seek medical attention immediately and follow proper decontamination procedures to minimize the health risks.
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 unknown radioactive elements?
A radioactive element is the element which radiates continuously giving alpha, beta, and gamma rays. The elements having atomic no. more than 82 are mostly considered as radioactive elements. These elements emit radiations by themselves even if if they are not get touched. They are discovered by Maria Curie and Pierre Curie in 1907
Does a star hold light?
No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.

What happens to the temperature and density of the material in the earth?
As you go deeper into the Earth, both temperature and density increase. The increase in temperature is due to the Earth's molten core and radioactive decay in the mantle. Density increases because of the weight of the overlying rock pushing down on the material below.

Does a gerbil get slower as it gets older?
Yes a gerbil will start to move slower when it gets older.
What gets shorter the older it gets?
One possible answer might be people - people get shorter the older they get.

What happens to the cooling water in a normally functioning nuclear plant does it all become radioactive eventually and how is it treated?
Water itself does not become radioactive, luckily, but any dissolved material in the water in the reactor primary circuit gets irradiated by the neutron flux and so can become radioactive. Therefore it is very important to control the water purity, it is all treated in a demineralisation plant, but then that is normal practice for power plants anyway, the difference in a nuclear plant is that the removed material can be radioactive. The secondary water/steam system in a PWR will not become radioactive, neither will the station cooling water used to cool the turbine condenser.
What gets younger when it gets older?
Benjamin Button.
What happens to the temperature and the density of the the material?
When the material gets closer to the core it gets hotter and more dense.
Is a corpse flower real?
Amazingly it is! If gets its name from the smell it emits, gross, smell-y. If is from Africa
