Write balanced nuclear equations for the following:
Write balanced nuclear equations for the fol lowing:
Why is ionizing radiation more
dangerous to children than
to adults?
Why is neutron activation analysis
(NAA) useful to art historians
and criminologists?
NAA does not destroy the sample while
chemical analyses does. Neutrons
bombard a non-radioactive sample,
"activating" or energizing individual atoms
within the sample to create radioisotopes.
The radioisotopes decay
back to their original state (thus, the
sample i s not destroyed) by emitting
radiation that i s different for each
isotope.
