Answer:
Here's what I find.
Explanation:
Iodine-131
Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.
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.
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.
Hello!
The fission of an atom that has a large atomic number can be induced by bombarding the atom with neutrons.
Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy nucleus divides into two or more lighter nuclei. This reaction is induced by the bombarding of neutrons into the nucleus, making it unstable (like throwing an orange to a perfectly arranged orange pyramid at the supermarket). The unstable nucleus breaks down into lighter elements, releasing more neutrons which contribute to the chain reaction.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Explanation:
Ionic compound is formed when a metal and a nonmetal are attached.
If we have MgX₂, that means that the nonmetal must have a valence of -1.
From the list the nonmetals with a valence of -1 are:
Bromine(Br) and fluorine(F).
Answer: The reactants are baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda is a white powder, and vinegar is a clear liquid. The products of this reaction are carbon dioxide, water, and sodium acetate. Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas, water is a colorless liquid, and sodium acetate is a white crystalline powder.
A chemical change can be seen in how the molecular formulas of the products are different from the reactants, since the reactants have chemically changed into completely different molecules.
