Uses of Radioactive Element
Hassium is a radioactive element with the symbol Hs and atomic number 108. It is a member of the actinide series of elements. Hassium was first created in 1984 by bombarding a target of lead-208 with accelerated deuterons.
Basic information of radioactive element:
A radioactive element is an element that spontaneously emits radiation. Radioactive elements are unstable and will eventually decay into a more stable element. This decay process releases energy in the form of radiation.
The most common types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
Radioactive elements are used in a variety of applications, including medical diagnosis and treatment, research, and manufacturing.
Discovery and Naming of Neptune
The discovery of Neptune is a complicated story, with a lot of people playing a part in it. In short, it was a result of years of searching by many astronomers.
The first person to suggest that there might be another planet beyond Uranus was John Couch Adams, a British mathematician. In 1845, he calculated that there must be another planet, based on discrepancies he found in Uranus’ orbit. However, he never actually saw Neptune, and it wasn’t until 1846 that anyone else did.
That year, Johann Gottfried Galle, a German astronomer, found Neptune using mathematical predictions made by Urbain Le Verrier, a French astronomer. The discovery was a major event, and Neptune was given its name in tribute to the god of the sea.
Occurrence of a disease
A disease is a condition of the body that results from infection, abnormal growth, or injury. Disease may cause pain, dysfunction, or death.
Properties of Hassium
Hassium is a synthetic element with the symbol Hs and atomic number 108. It is a radioactive metal that is not found naturally on Earth. Hassium is the most radioactive element in the periodic table. It is produced artificially in nuclear reactors. Hassium is a silver-white metal that is very brittle and has a low melting point. It is not used in any practical applications.
Isotopes
There are three naturally occurring isotopes of iodine: I-127, I-129, and I-131. I-131 is the most abundant and is used in medical diagnosis and treatment.
Iodine-127 has a half-life of 15.7 million years and is used in the production of stable iodine-127 seeds for calibration of gamma-ray detectors.
Iodine-129 has a half-life of more than 17 billion years and is used in the study of the early universe.
Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8.02 days and is used in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.
