Question
Chapter 19, Problem 33QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Interpret the instrument used for measure the rate of decay of radioactive material and instrument for measure the rate of decay of radioactive material by sensing the light.
Concept Introduction:
Radioactive decay is the decaying of an element to smaller nuclide by releasing either alpha or beta particle. In alpha decay, an alpha particle with mass 4m and electron 2e removed from nuclide while in beta decay two type of decay are possible beta (+) and beta (-).

- Technetium-99 is prepared from 98Mo. Molybdenum-SS combines with a neutron to give molybdenum-99, an unstable isotope that emits a particle to yield an excited form of technetium-99, represented as 99Tc*. This excited nucleus relaxes to the ground state, represented as 99Tc, by emitting a ray. The ground state of 99Tc then emits a particle.
