Question

Question one is the photo provided it is balancing nuclear reactions 

2.) fill in the blanks

1.) blank are the most penetrating type of nuclear radiation.

2.) blank, blank, and blank are the three most important factors in determining personal exposure to radiation.

3.) the radioactive decay constant k, is in early related to blank - blank 

4.) alpha particles are blank nuclei 

5.) above Z= blank, all isotopes of all elements are radioactive ie they have unstable atomic nuclei

6.) nuclei with even numbers of both protons and neutrons are generally blank stable than those with odd numbers of nucleus.

7.) A blank, blank is used to detect and measure radioactivity 

8.) beta particles (electrons ) are emitter when a blank in the nucleus decays 

3.) uranium -238, has a half life of 4.51x10^9 years how long will it take for 1.0 g of ^238U to decay to 0.95g?
