Radioactivity is important for a number of reasons. It is the basis of both nuclear power and nuclear weapons. It allows for such things as medical X-ray examinations. Radioactive decay in the interior of the planet Earth is the source of the heat which causes the mantle to be liquid, and thereby causes continental drift, and earthquakes and volcanoes. None of those would exist without radioactivity. The study of radioactivity has provided scientists with many vital clues about the structure of atoms, and the behavior of subatomic particles.
What else can I help you with?
Why was the discovery of radioactivity important?
The discovery of radioactivity was important because it led to the development of nuclear physics and important scientific breakthroughs, such as the understanding of atomic structure and the development of nuclear energy. It also paved the way for advancements in medicine, industry, and technology.
How does radioactivity affect the water cycle?
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
Who was important in the discovery of radiation?
Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie, and Pierre Curie were important in the discovery of radiation. Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in 1896, while Marie Curie and Pierre Curie furthered research on radioactivity and isolated the elements polonium and radium.
Advantages of nuclear radioactivity?
What other sort of radioactivity is there?
Radioactivity can be what?
Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
When did Marie curie build radioactivity?
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
Do you messure radioactivity in literes?
You cannot measure radioactivity in litres
How much radioactivity is in Japan?
Radioactivity in Japan is about 15,000 terabecquerels.
Why is radioactivity dangerous and what are the potential risks associated with exposure to it?
Radioactivity is dangerous because it emits high-energy radiation that can damage cells and DNA in living organisms. Exposure to radioactivity can lead to health risks such as cancer, genetic mutations, and radiation sickness. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of developing various diseases and can have harmful effects on the environment. It is important to limit exposure to radioactivity and take precautions to protect against its harmful effects.
Marie curie discovered radioactivity?
NO. Henri Becquerel was the discoverer of radioactivity.
What do you need radioactivity for?
You need radioactivity, for many things such as x-rays.
Which elents cannot be diffused by radioactivity also?
Radioactivity has nothing to do with diffusion.
