What else can I help you with?
Do radioactive objects emit heat?
Yes, radioactive objects emit heat as a byproduct of their radioactive decay process. This heat is produced by the energy released during the decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
How does fission create radioactive waste?
During fission, atoms split into smaller fragments, releasing energy and neutrons. Some of these fragments are radioactive isotopes, which emit radiation and decay over time, creating radioactive waste.
Are gamma rays emitted by radioactive elements?
Yes, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive elements during radioactive decay processes. They are high-energy photons with no mass or charge, and can penetrate through materials easily.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
What consists of high-energy waves and always accompalnies alpha and beta decay?
Gamma rays consist of high-energy waves and always accompany alpha and beta decay processes. They are electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state.
When radioactive decay occurs a atom is always produced by the action?
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different isotope.
Can you drink on radioactive iodine?
It is recommended to avoid alcohol for a few days both before and after receiving radioactive iodine treatment, as alcohol can interfere with the medication's effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding drinking alcohol during radioactive iodine treatment.
What is lost during radioactive decay?
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
What is the percentage of radioactive nuclei left after 3 half lives have passed?
12.5%
What are unwanted radioactive products formed during nuclear reactions called?
Unwanted radioactive products formed during nuclear reactions are called nuclear waste or radioactive waste. These byproducts are often harmful to the environment and can remain radioactive for long periods of time, presenting challenges for disposal and management.
What are the nuclear changes during decay of copper 67?
Copper-67 undergoes beta decay with a halflife of 59 hours, becoming stable Zinc-67.
How can water become radioactive?
Yes they all are A small percentage of each element in all existence is radioactive and some elements are nearly 100% radioactive if not exactly 100% radioactive, so encountering radioactivity in air, soil, and water is inevitable.
Is iodine in nuclear bombs?
No. However one of the fission products produced is Iodine-131 and it appears in the fallout. Iodine-131 is a dangerous beta and gamma emitter with a halflife of 8.05 days, it concentrates in the thyroid gland and can selectively kill it or cause cancers in it. Fortunately the halflife is only just over a week, because it then practically disappears in about 5 to 6 weeks. This allows Iodine-131 contaminated food and drink (e.g. fresh milk) to be stored and then safely used when the Iodine-131 has decayed. This also makes it possible to protect the thyroid gland by saturating it with ordinary Iodine (usually as potassium iodide pills) until the Iodine-131 has decayed.
What is necessary for you to be able to explain what happens during radioactive decay?
To fully explain radioactive decay you need quantum mechanics.
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
Do radioactive objects emit heat?
Yes, radioactive objects emit heat as a byproduct of their radioactive decay process. This heat is produced by the energy released during the decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
What elements give off particles?
the unstable elements in periodic table is Radium because it always leave the radio active waves so it lost its mass slowly slowly all radio active elements are unstable. Any thing more By Varun
