Geography

The elements listed in the choices are radioactive materials. These materials are very unstable because of the high neutron-to-proton ratio in the nucleus. Because of this, they spontaneously undergo nuclear reactions by giving off sub-particles in order to lower the ratio. They emit radiation in the form of alpha, beta or gamma. 

Half-life is the length of time it needs to completely react half of the original amount. For example, it would take Bismuth 60.5 seconds to use up half of its amount. Therefore, the lower the half-life the faster the reaction is and the lesser the residual amount will be. With that being said, the answer would be Bismuth because it only takes seconds.

Should children need to work in order to survive?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

I think that there are certain times in which it is a yes and a no. When you are looking at the family situation you really have to take into consideration what position everyone is in. I think that 16 is a good age to work, but that doesn't mean that they have to deprive their life. If everyone is really working together than that is a total yes. If on the other hand that parents aren't put a hand in it is never going to be the childs responsibility to provide for them. When you look at the situation for the kids sometime it is nice for them to learn the cost of money and real life. <3
