Organic chemistry is the study of essentially all substances containing carbon. Organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. The simplest hydrocarbons are the alkanes which contain only single covalent bonds. Methane is the simplest alkane. It is also the major component of natural gas. Methane contains only 1 carbon in the molecular formula and the structural formula. There is ethane which is 2 carbons‚ propane that is 3‚ butane which is 4‚ pentane which is 5

c) Balance formulae equation d) An example of the reaction Question 2 What types of instruments and processes are used to detect radiation? The properties of nuclear radiation are used to detect their levels. Different types of radiation have different effects on the human body. The key properties that are used to detect nuclear radiation include the ability to: * Geiger-Müller tube Geiger-Müller tubes work using ionising effect of radioactivity. It is best at detecting alpha

Radioisotopes in Medicine Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person’s specific organs‚ or to treat them. Diagnostic procedures are now routine. * Radiotherapy can be used to treat some medical conditions‚ especially cancer‚ using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells. * Tens of millions of nuclear medicine procedures are performed each year‚ and demand for radioisotopes is increasing rapidly.

Nuclear weapons cause unimaginable death and destruction. Without a doubt‚ these are the most powerful weapons mankind has ever built. However‚ there is also a scientific side to this weaponry which Teddy Roosevelt may have indeed called very big sticks. Nuclear weapons work by releasing the enormous amounts of energy that are contained in the bonds of atoms. The bonds of atoms can be broken in two ways. The first way is by fission‚ and the second way is by fusion. Fission works by the splitting

valid points concerning the fear of radiation‚ how easily it finds metal guns and knives‚ and the provacy issue that surrounds X-ray technology (5). Throughout this essay Thomas Frank was able to write about the facts surrounding X-rays and keep hs opinion out of the article therefore giving his readers the chance to form their own belief. This essay was written to analyze which belief to choose. Should the public be against the backscatter X-ray because of radiation exposure or is safety against terrorists

particles‚ in the form of radiation‚ until a stable nucleus is produced; this is called the radioactive decay. Four isotopes as well as their uses are mentioned subsequently. Americium: Americium is a silvery metal‚ which corrodes slowly in air and is soluble in acid. It has the isotopes: Am-243‚ Am-242 and Am-241‚ with a half-life of 432 years‚ which was the first isotope to be isolated. The isotope Am-241 decays by emitting alpha particles and intense gamma radiation to become neptunium-237

Experimental: The counter was measured in the background Beta-radiation count for five minutes. The readings were recorded in the prepared table. The activity of the standard Beta-emitter was recorded and measured for five minutes. The activity of the unknown Beta-emitter was recorded and measured for five minutes. The activity of the standard for the background radiation. Subtracted the

I would attempt to build a shelter and I would get hide all my food in a place that it would not get radiation poisoning. I would get games- even though you wouldn’t think to play games while you’re getting bombed- I’d also take all my favourite things I own and bring them with me into my shelter‚ also I would gather everyone I love to come and stay in this

In desperation‚ they fight‚ mug‚ steal‚ and even murder. Albeit there is a justifiable reason for these insane actions‚ does it make it right? The behavior of the Soviet Union has caused American citizens to go insane‚ and as a result‚ their actions make one community question America’s existence.

Extra credit Since the discovering of X-ray‚ many areas have taken advance of this science. For example‚ medicine‚ airports security and also repairing some part of the airplanes. Medicine is the most beneficiated from X-ray with the development of various branches and different areas of studies. Many diagnostic depend or rely in this technology to prevent the spread of deadly diseases. On this research paper I will cover three different areas of X-ray used in medicine in the prevention and detection
