(a)
Interpretation:
If the given statement is true or false should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Isotopes which are having balance numbers of protons and neutrons are stable but the serious imbalance can lead to nuclear reaction. Radioactive isotopes emit alpha, beta, positron, gamma particles due to nuclear reactions.
- Alpha emission is an emission of helium nucleus (2 Protons and 2 neutrons) from the elements to stabilize the nucleus. This emission results into decrease by two in
atomic number and increase by four in mass number. - Beta emission is an emission of beta particle as electron from nucleus of molecule. This emission results into increase in atomic number and no change in mass number.
- Positron emission is an emission in electron with positive charge is emitted by nucleus of molecule. This emission results into decrease by one number in atomic number and no change in mass number.
- Gamma radiation is only access energy from nucleus is emitted to stabilize nucleus of molecule. This emission results into no change in mass number and atomic number.
These emitted particles are useful in diagnosis and treatment of diseases as a nuclear medicine. They act as invaluable tool in fieled of science. These nuclear chemistry is utilized in medicla imaging like PET (Positron emission tomography), X-rays, MRI (Magnetic resonance Imaging), CT scan etc.

Answer to Problem 44P
In positron emission tomography (a PET scan), the detectors counts the numbers of gamma particle emitted by a tagged material and the location within the body where the tagged materail accumulates. Thus, the statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
The radiation contains particles with energy which are emitted by radioactive isotopes. This energy is useful to trace the particle within the body during its medical use. The Positron Tomography Scan contains Positrons which has very short live and they collide with electron and forms gamma rays. PET scanner capture the energy of the particles and it does not count the numbers of positrons.
