(a)
Interpretation:
The definition of term radioactive is to be stated and the explanation of the given statement is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The radioactive decay is a process which involves the emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus. The atomic nucleus loses its energy during radioactive decay. The process of radioactive decay is spontaneous.
Answer to Problem 10.1E
An unstable substance which emits high energy radiations by decay of atom is known as radioactive substance. Beta rays itself are not radioactive but they are the product of radioactive decay.
Explanation of Solution
An unstable substance which emits high energy radiations by decay process of atom is known as radioactive substance. Alpha, beta and gamma rays are emitted during radioactive decay of a substance. Beta rays itself are not radioactive but they are the product of radioactive decay.

Answer to Problem 10.1E
The given statement is incorrect because Radon is an unstable element and undergoes radioactive decay.
Explanation of Solution
The given statement that radon is a stable radioactive substance is not correct. Radon is an unstable element and undergoes radioactive decay. Radon decays to polonium by emitting alpha and gamma rays.
The given statement is incorrect because radon is an unstable element and undergoes radioactive decay.

- Please correct answer and don't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solutionarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't used hand raitingarrow_forwardConsider the following Figure 2 and two atoms that are initially an infinite distance apart, x =00, at which point the potential energy of the system is U = 0. If they are brought together to x = x, the potential energy is related to the total force P by dU dx = P Given this, qualitatively sketch the variation of U with x. What happens at x=x? What is the significance of x = x, in terms of the potential energy? 0 P, Force 19 Attraction Total Repulsion x, Distance Figure 2. Variation with distance of the attractive, repulsive, and total forces between atoms. The slope dP/dx at the equilibrium spacing xe is proportional to the elastic modulus E; the stress σb, corresponding to the peak in total force, is the theoretical cohesive strength.arrow_forward
