Answer:

Beta particles and neutrons

Explanation:

Lead is not particular good for shielding beta particles and neutrons. Lead shielding is used for shielding x-rays and gamma-rays due to its high density and atomic mass.

Materials made with lead are used by people dealing with all kinds of radioactive particles to prevent radioactive poisonings.

But lead cannot effectively protect against beta particles and neutrons.

How can you find the number of neutrons that are in an atom of an element
Temka [501]

Answer:

You just have to take the periodic table of the elements, take the element that interests you. Then, you look at the formula of the element, at the top left you find the number of neutrons and protons and at the bottom left you find the number of protons. Then you just have to make the number from the top left minus the number from the bottom left.

Why is aluminium used to make outer covering of aeroplane?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Aluminum is ideal for aircraft manufacture because it's lightweight and strong. Aluminum is roughly a third the weight of steel, allowing an aircraft to carry more weight and or become more fuel efficient. Furthermore, aluminum's high resistance to corrosion ensures the safety of the aircraft and its passengers.

Why do crystals form during crystallisation
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: Crystallization is a technique which chemists use to purify solid compounds. Crystals often form in nature when liquids cool and start to harden. Certain molecules in the liquid gather together as they attempt to become stable. They do this in a uniform and repeating pattern that forms the crystal. The process is based on the principles of solubility: compounds (solutes) tend to be more soluble in hot liquids (solvents) than they are in cold liquids. If a saturated hot solution is allowed to <u>cool</u>, the solute is no longer soluble in the solvent and forms crystals of pure compound. Impurities are excluded from the growing crystals and the pure solid crystals can be separated from the dissolved impurities by filtration.
For an example the salt we get from seawater can have many impurities in it. Hence, the process of crystallization is in use to remove these impurities.

When the equation N=O/P is solved for P correctly, the equation should read:
zheka24 [161]

Given the equation N=O/P, solve for P by multiplying the left and right by P/N:

N * P/N = O/P * P/N

P = O/N
