Answer:
Explanation: In the previous section we listed four characteristics of radioactivity and nuclear decay that form the basis for the use of radioisotopes in the health and biological sciences. A fifth characteristic of nuclear reactions is that they release enormous amounts of energy. The first nuclear reactor to achieve controlled nuclear disintegration was built in the early 1940s by Enrico Fermi and his colleagues at the University of Chicago. Since that time, a great deal of effort and expense has gone into developing nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The nuclear reactions presently used or studied by the nuclear power industry fall into two categories: fission reactions and fusion reactions

What is Beta emission?</h3>
This is also known as beta decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.
The element formed during the beta emission of strontium is referred to as Yttrium.

Remember, 1 mole= 6.022x10^23 atoms, molecules, or formula units.
Answer is 1.42x10^24
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.
<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>
Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.
Answer:
Hygroscopic
Explanation:
An hygroscopic substance is one that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes wet. Their ability to remove water from air is less than that of deliquescent substances. Most of the solid hygroscopic substances forms pasty substances and not solutions like the deliquescent compounds.
Examples are sodium trioxonitrate(v), copper(ii) oxide e.t.c
Efflorescence compounds gives off their water of crystallization to the atmosphere.
