Answer:

The correct option is D) Fission

Explanation:

There are several methods through which Radioactive isotopes are created.

Using a nuclear reactor that has a field of neutrons, insert a stable sample such as Lutetium-176. When it gets bombarded with neutrons, it acquires some, and fission is said to have occurred. Note that when Lutetium-176 acquires a neutron, it becomes radioactive Lu-177.
Fission is also used to create Fluorine-18. To obtain the same, you need to bombard pure or enriched [ $^{18} O$ ] water with ~18 MeV protons which are high energy in nature. The bombarding is achieved using a cyclotron or an accelerator.

Answer:

4Al + 3Mno2 --> 2Al2o3 + 3Mn

Explanation:

Al = 1 x 4 = 4

Mn = 1 x 3 = 3

O = 2 x 3 = 6

----------

Al = 2 x 2 = 4

Mn = 1 x 3 = 3

O = 2 x 3 = 6

Which are methods of reducing exposure to ionizing radiation? Check all that apply

MariettaO [177]

Ionising radiation (ionizing radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to free electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them. Ionizing radiation is made up of energetic subatomic particles, ions or atoms moving at high speeds (usually greater than 1% of the speed of light), and electromagnetic waves on the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum.

An electron shell can hold 2(n^2) electrons (technically) where n is the shell number, i.e. shell 1 can hold 2, shell 2 can hold 8, 3 holds 18 and so on.
The atomic number of Nitrogen is 7, i.e. it has 7 electrons (to match its 7 protons, assuming it isn't an ion).

With the atomic number, you simply start from shell 1 and work out. So we put 2 electrons in shell 1, leaving us with 5 left. Shell 2 can hold 6 so we can fit all 5 in.

In other words, you should have 2 electron shells on the atom, shell 1 with 2 e- and shell 2 with 5 e-.
