QuestionAnswer
Which type of radiation is the most penetrating? Gamma Rays
The type and approximate amount of material required to stop alpha particles a piece of paper (or the skin)
The type and approximate amount of material required to stop beta particles 0.5 cm sheet of lead
The type and approximate amount of material required to stop gamma rays. Several centimeters of lead.
Which radioisotope is more hazerdous, 1 g of 238/92U with a half life of 4.5 billion years, or 1 g of 222/86Rn with a half life of 3 days. Explain. 222/86Rn because more ionizing radiation is submitted over a shorter period of time.
Whats wrong with this equation? 4/2He + 27/13AL ---> 49/15P + 1/0n The mass numbers don't add up.
Idoine-131 has a half life of 8 days. Approximatly what fraction of iodine-131 will remian after one month (about 31 days)? 1/16
what is the final product of the uranium series? Stable, nonradiactive isotope of lead-206
Electrical charge and mass for beta particles -1, 0
Electrical charge and mass for alpha particles +2, 4
Electrical charge and mass for gamma rays 0, 0
Electrical charge and mass for positrons +1, 0
Electrical charge and mass for nuetrons 0, 1
beta symbol 0/-1e
positron symbol 0/+1e
Alpha symbol 4/-2He^2+
Gamma symbol 0/0y
nuetron symbol 1/0n
1/0n + 235/92U ---> 142/56Ba + [ ] + 31/0n 1/0n + 235/92U ---> 142/56Ba + [90/36Kr] 31/0n
64/29Cu ----> ____ + 0/-1e 64/29Cu ----> 64/30Zn +0/-1e
69/30Zn ---> ____ + 69/31Ga 69/30Zn ---> 0/-1e + 69/31Ga
131/53L ----> 131/54Xe + ____ 131/53L ----> 131/54Xe + 0/-1e
What are transuranium elements? An artifical element with an atomic number greater than 92.
What is the reason for irradiating food with gamma rays? What is the effect of radiation? Reduces food spoilage, longer shelf life.
Desceribe what effect gamma rays from cobalt-60 have on cancer cells and why this makes them useful in radiation therapy for cancer. gamma rays can damage the DNA sequence needed for duplication of the genetic code in the rapidly mulitplying cancer cells that duplicate more often than normal cells
which source of background radiation contributes more to a persons annual dose, weapons test fallout or natrual radiation in food, water and air? natrual radiation in food, water, and air.
Name three problems that are associated with nuclear energy from fission catastrophic acciden and relaease of radioactive material, plutonium proudcion, dosposal of radioactive wastes

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
