What are three ways in which we can limit our exposure to radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago
6 0

Three ways to limit our exposure to radiation would be "time", "distance" and "shielding".

Time references how much time you're being exposed to the radiation. Example, in the sun. Limit the time you're outside. In an x-ray exam room, they try and get you out very quickly.

Distance references how close you are to the radiation. Again, in an x-ray room, they try and keep the radiation as far away from you.

Shielding would be to block yourself with lead (x-ray) or sunscreen (for sun exposure) to help protect you for further exposure.

Answer:

the proton and the neutron

Explanation:

mass of The proton is approximately  1.6726 × 10^-27 Kg

mass of the electron  is approximately 9.109 × 10^-31 Kg

mass of the neutron  is approximately 1.6749 × 10^-27 Kg

Here we see that mass of proton and neutron is approximately similar.

_____________________________________________

Lets see what is  the mass of these particle IN atm unit

mass of these particles can also be described in form of amu(atomic mass unit)

1 atm is the mass defined as 1/12 th of mass of the carbon-12(c-12) atom.

In terms of unit atm

mass of proton = 1 amu

mass of electron = 5.45 × 10−4 amu

mass of neutron = 1 amu

hence we can say that mass of proton = mass of neutron.

mass of atom is sum of mass of all the neutron and proton in the atom.

Hence, mass of neturon and atom cannot be equal.

This makes option four the neutron and the atom , the wrong choice.

correct answer is the proton and the neutron

therefore, An atom contains one proton , one electron and one neutron then, mass of proton is similar in mass of neutron.

I don't fully understand your question, but I believe that plants have functions that are vital to the planet. They take sunlight, make it into food for themselves, and release oxygen that we need to survive.
