. Of much concern to environmentalists is radon-222, which is a radioactive noble gas that can seep from the ground into basements of homes and buildings. Radon-222 is a product of the decay of radium-226 that occurs naturally in rocks and soil in much of the United States. Radon-222, which has a half-life of 3.8 days, decays by emitting an alpha particle. Radon-222, which is a gas, can be inhaled into the lungs where it is strongly associated with lung...

Please show your steps clearly. . The radioactive isotope Uranium-234 decays to Thoriu-230 with a half-life of T. Thorium 230 itself is also radioactive and decays to Radium-226 with a half-life of γ and γ > τ Although Radium-226 is also radioactive its half-life is much longer than T and γ and here we assume that it is relative stable. Consider the scenario when we start with a certain amount of pure Uranium-234, because of this chain of decays, we...
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive noble gas. Because it occurs naturally in soil, it can become trapped in homes and buildings. Despite a short half-life of only 3.83 days, high concentrations of radon indoors can pose a risk of lung cancer. (For this reason, many modern homes and buildings have radon reduction systems installed.) Consider an enclosed space in a building which contains 3.30 g of radon gas at time t = 0. What mass of radon (in g)...

Use Conservation of Mass-Energy to determine how much kinetic energy is released when Radium-224 decays into Radon-220 and Helium-4 (an alpha particle). The relevant masses are mRa = 224.020186u, mRn = 220.011368u, and mHe = 4.002603u. Kinetic energy released: A Uranium-236 nucleus that is initially at rest has a mass of 2.9e-25 kg and is initially at rest. When it decays, it creates two fragments that fly off in opposite directions. Fragment #1 moves to the left at a velocity...
