2 technicians, Sanjay and Kim were accidentally exposed to radiation. Sanjay was exposed to 8mGy while Kim was exposed to 5 rad. Which technician received more radiation?

A

Kim.

1 Gy = 1000 mGy.

8/1000 x 100 rad = 0.8 rad.

104
Q

Match each property with the correct unit of measurement.

  1. Activity.
  2. Absorbed dose.
  3. Biological damage.
A
  1. mCi.
  2. rad.
  3. rem.
105
Q

The recommended dosage of iodine-131 is 4.20 μCi/kg of body mass. How many micorcuries of iodine-131 are needed for a 75 kg person with hyperthyroidism?

A

315 mcg.

106
Q

Radioisotopes of this element are used in the treatment of thyroid disease.

A

Iodine.

107
Q

Which of the following is NOT a symptom of radiation sickness?

a. Vomiting.
b. Fatigue.
c. Red blood cell lysis.
d. decreased white blood cell count.

A

c. Red blood cell lysis.

(RBC rupture and content leaks out).

108
Q

A curie is?

A

The amount of radioactive substance that undergoes 3.7 × 10^10 disintegrations per second.

109
Q

A unit used to measure the amount of radiation absorbed per gram of tissue is the…

A

rad, or Gy.

110
Q

In artificial transmutation one of the products will be a:

  1. Helium atom.
  2. Helium ion.
  3. Hydrogen atom.
  4. Hydrogen ion.
A
  1. Helium atom.
111
Q

True or False:

Over 3000 radioisotopes occur naturally.

A

False.

3300 occur unnaturally.

112
Q

True or False:

Smoke detectors utilize the radioisotope Am-241.

A

True.

Am-241 emits alpha particles and when smoke interrupts this process the alarm is triggered! Life-saving chemistry.

113
Q

An artificial transmutation of N-14 by bombardment with a neutron would result in which product?

A

C-14.

When a neutron bombards a larger atom it causes nuclear fission and the atom splits into a smaller one.

114
Q

The fission of an atom of uranium
(or an atom of greater atomic number) can be induced by bombarding it with:

A

Neutrons.

115
Q

When a nucleus is bombarded with
particles and breaks into two similarly sized nuclei plus one or more small
particles, the process is called:

A

Fission.

This can be used to turn water into steam to be used as electrical power.

116
Q

True or False:

When an atom undergoes nuclear fission, it splits into two larger atoms.

A

False.

It splits into 2 smaller atoms.

117
Q

The minimum of radioactive material needed to sustain a nuclear chain reaction is known as the:

A

Critical mass.

118
Q

True or False:

The reactions responsible for the sun’s energy are nuclear fusion reactions.

A

True.

Smaller particles collide to create larger ones. This release a lot of energy and conditions to make this reaction happen are difficult to create on earth.

119
Q

What is the conjugate base of water?

A

OH -

120
Q

A positron is a partide emitted from the nudeus that has the same mass as a(n) __________.

A

Electron but has a positive charge.

121
Q

Which of the followina descriptions or an electron is correct?

A. An electron surrounds the nucleus, has a negative charge and is virtually massless.

B. An electron is found inside the nucleus, has a positive charge and a mass of 1 amu.

C. An electron surrounds the nucleus, has a negative charge and a mass of 1 amu

D. An electron surrounds the nucleus, has no charge and is virtuallv massless.

E. An electron is found inside the nucleus, has a negative charge and a mass of 1 amu.

A

A. An electron surrounds the nucleus, has a negative charge and is virtually massless.

122
Q

An unstable isotope generally has:

A. Low neutron to proton ratio.

B. Change in the charge of the nucleus.

C. Equal number of protons and electrons.

D. High neutron to proton ratio.

E. Equal number of protons and neutrons.

A

A. Low neutron to proton ratio.
