Starting with 235U, assume the following sequence of decays occur:
 
  (1 ) alpha decay
  (2 ) beta minus decay
  (3 ) alpha decay
 
  Determine the correct isotopic product after each process has occurred sequentially.

Question 2

A Carbon-14 nucleus decays to a Nitrogen-14 nucleus by beta decay. How much energy (in MeV) is released if Carbon-14 has a mass of 14.003074 u and Nitrogen-14 has a mass of 14.003242 u?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Common abbreviations that cause medication errors include U (unit), mg (milligram), QD (every day), SC (subcutaneous), TIW (three times per week), D/C (discharge or discontinue), HS (at bedtime or "hours of sleep"), cc (cubic centimeters), and AU (each ear).

Did you know?

Eating food that has been cooked with poppy seeds may cause you to fail a drug screening test, because the seeds contain enough opiate alkaloids to register as a positive.

Did you know?

The word drug comes from the Dutch word droog (meaning "dry"). For centuries, most drugs came from dried plants, hence the name.

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s. They are now used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and other conditions that feature bone fragility.
