C : " Neutrons are inside the nucleus of an atom" is the answer because, Rutherford theorized if the neutrons were in the center and the electrons were orbiting in separate energy levels the protons would be in the nucleus to keep the neutrons from floating. If the nucleus has neutral and positive particles, then it will be positive nucleus. Hope this helps

What types of elements- metals,

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Noble gases

Explanation:

The noble gases are non-metals that requires the highest amount of energy to remove an electron from their shells.

The reason for this difficult is that their electronic configuration confers a stable configuration them.

The ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electrons in an atom.
Due to the special stability of noble gases, it is very difficult to remove electrons from an atom of noble gases.

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

$_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma$

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

$_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}$

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
