Powerful energy emitted from certain heavy atoms?
Radiation
Why is ultraviolet light considered ionizing radiation?
That means that it is energetic enough to ionize atoms - to convert neutral atoms into ions.
Why is radiation lethal?
Radiation ionizes atoms, breaking their bonds and altering biological chemistry. It can also change the nucleus by activation involving neutrons. In sufficient amounts, the body is unable to compensate, and that radiation can be lethal.
What types of atoms release nuclear radiation?
Isotopes of elements with unstable nucleus release nuclear radiation. Generally theinstabilityis related to the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus of an atom.
What measures the amount of energy in the motion of atoms?
Since heat and energy are the same it is called Kinetic energy. The temperature is what makes up the average particles in motion which are in all atoms.
What radiation may due to atoms?
Ionizing radiation
What do radioactive materials do?
The atoms become some other type of atom. In the process, they emit some radiation, which contains energy. The radiation they emit typically include one or more of the following: alpha particles (helium-4 nuclei), beta particles (electrons or positrons), gamma rays, and neutrinos.
According to the bohr model atoms adsorb electromagnetic radiation with frequencies that correspond to which of the following?
The answer is (The energy necessary to move an electron from one orbit to another)
When atoms are moved by radiation in what direction do they move?
radiation can travel through air
Which type of radiation ionizes atoms and molecules?
Alpha and Beta are the most efficient forms of radiation that can ionize atoms. However Gamma can do it too.
Do all atoms give out radiation?
Any excited atomic nucleus can radiate energy, but we generally only see radioactive atoms emitting radiation.
How can heat produced using radiation?
Heat is both radiation and the vibration of atoms/molecules.
How can you tell which atoms are stable?
The atoms are stable when having the ratio of neutrons to protons that lie on the atom stability line. These stable atoms do not emit radiation as alpha, beta, neutron, or gamma radiation.
Can atoms of radioactive element change into atoms of another element by emitting radiation?
Yes
Does radiation need atoms and molecules to work?
nope
What is it called when radiation destroys atoms?
Ionization
Powerful energy emitted from certain heavy atoms?
Radiation
