Answer: iodine - 131 is used to treat hyperthyroidism.

Explanation:

Iodine - 131, a radioactive iodine salt, is an important diagnostic tool and medical therapeutic tool used to treat hyperthyroidism due to nodules in thyroid gland or graves' diseases.

Iodine-131 is usually administered orally as a single dose. Once taken, it emits both beta and gamma radiation. The beta radiations (the active agent) kills the overactive thyroid cells. The Beta rays travel small distances, but not usually exiting from the body of such patient. While, the gamma radiation can travel long distances, existing from the patient's body which can affect people in such surroundings.

Iodine-131 alters iodine absorption mechanism in the thyroid glands.

It can also be used in diagnostic imaging techniques for neuroblastoma.

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
kherson [118]
The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound.  So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped
