History-
Radon was discovered in 1900 by German Chemist Friedrich Ernst Dorn. Radon was the third radioactive element found after Polonium and Radium. Dorn discovered the element because of an observation made by Marie Curie. Dorn discovered that when radium is released into the air the air becomes radioactive. After observing the gas for a while Dorn discovered that radium produces a gas when it breaks apart. Dorn first called the gas “Radium Emanation”,Emanation meaning something given off. In 1923, seven years after Dorns death scientists changed the name “Radium Emanation” to Radon. Referring to where the gas comes from, Radium.

Also in this family are Xenon, Krypton, Argon, Neon, and Helium. On the periodic table Radon is placed in row 6 column 18. It is placed with the noble gases because all Noble Gases Under standard conditions, are odorless, colorless, and have monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity. Radon has an atomic number of 86, meaning Radon has 86 protons in its nucleus. The atomic number also determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table. Radon also has an atomic mass of 222. Atomic mass is the mass of an atom in an element. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. Since we know Selenium has 86 protons we can figure out it has 136 neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic …show more content…
All of Radons’ isotopes are radioactive. Radons most stable Isotope. While there are no stable isotopes in radon, the most stable isotope is 222Rn, which is a decay product of 226Ra. There are 3 Isotopes of Radon that occur in nature, radon-219, radon-220, and radon-222. Isotopes are two or more forms of an element. Each isotope is different because of its mass number. All Isotopes of Radon have very short half-lives and they do not remain in the atmosphere for very long. The half-life of an element is the time it takes for half of a sample of the element to break down. The radon Isotope with the longest half-life is Radon-222, lasting only 3.8 days. Most of Radons Isotopes do not last more than a few seconds, or minutes. Some of the physical properties of Radon is that it is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. When radon is at standard temperature and pressure, radon forms a monatomic gas with a density of 9.73 kg/m3, about 8 times the density of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level, 1.217 kg/m3. Some of the Chemical Properties of Radon is, Radon has an atomic number of 86. Also it has a density of 9.73 g/l. The melting and boiling points of radon are -71 C, and -62
Thorium is naturally a radioactive chemical element, which was discovered in 1828 from the Norwegian mineralogist Morten Thrane Esmark, and named Thor from Jons Jakob Bezelius, which means the “Norse God of Thunder.” Thorium is the most abundant metal found in earth crust and had been scattered million years ago in the galaxy, with the explosion of meteors known as supernova. Thorium generates radioactive gas products, as radon-20 decay. Other decay by-products of thorium are radium and actinium. But, thorium is found in nature as thorium-232, which has a half-life and endures under alpha decay. Thorium decay produces a significant amount of internal heat energy. Thorium is found in the same amount as lead, and four
In the nucleus of an atom there are protons and neutrons the number of protons and neutrons depends on the element and ,if it is an isotope of that element. E.g. carbon 12, carbon 12 has six neutrons six protons and 6 electrons . Electrons are located around the nucleus of the atom. Electrons are in shells, the shell closest to the nucleus is 1 , the one after 2 and so on. Each shell can only hold up to a certain number of electrons . the first can hold up to 2 , the second 8 (2+6) the third up to 18 (2+6+10). The general formula for finding out how many electrons a shell can hold is 2n^2. Electrons have a negative charge , while protons have a positive and neutrons have no charge. A atom has the same number of protons and electrons. An ion is formed when an atom loses or gains a electrons .

Khalif Browde is a young African American man who was arrested at the age of 16 for allegedly stealing a backpack. He was imprisoned for three years on New York's Riker Island without trial and spent most of his time in solitary confinement isolated by himself. On May 15,2010, at the age of 16, Browder and his friends were stopped by multiple police cars coming from a party. Browder was under the impression that this was a routine stop and frisk, which he has experienced on various occasions.
At the age of sixteen, Amir Ronaghi bravely decided to come to the United States for more educational and lifestyle opportunities. Like most Iranians, this hard process included living abroad for a few years to get a VISA, for him Austria, later moving to the United States to endure many adversities before success. Despite the obstacles, Amir knows how to balance fun and hard work. For instance, every Sunday, he never fails to play soccer, additionally traveling to play on a medical soccer team. While traveling to foreign places, Amir enjoys photography, especially with his family near a beautiful or significant site. Towering at over 6 feet tall with a smile as bright as the sun, Amir Ronaghi is extremely caring and humble while inspiring others to work hard for a better future.
After reviewing Riz Khan’s interview with Mr. Salam Al-Marayati and Mr. Jed Babbin, if there was a winner in that debate I would say Mr. Al-Marayati was the victor. I agreed more with Mr. Al-Marayati, his statement, if we want to keep empowering Bin Ladin, keep making it a US vs Islam fight. I also liked the fact he put the KKK in the same category as terrorist, acting in the name of the Christian faith, exploiting Islam.
The story of radium girls has to begin with the discovery of radium in 1898 by
According to dictionary.com, the term radium is defined as, “the chemical element of atomic number 88, a rare radioactive metal of the alkaline earth series. It was formerly used as a source of radiation for radiotherapy” (dictionary, 2005). In 1898, this radioactive material was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Radium comes from the radioactive mineral, uranium. Marie and Pierre Curie studied the material uranium and determined that radium is still radioactive when pulled off of uranium.

There are many different types of nuclear energy. Radon is a radioactive element (Rn) that is incredibly dangerous. This toxic element has an atomic number of 86 and an atomic weight of 222. Radon is odorless and a colorless gas, but can also be a transparent liquid or a solid. Radon can be used in cancer treatment and spas for medical treatment. However, Radon is known as the second leading cause to lung cancer and exposure to Radon in your home can be deadly. It is incredibly important to test for Radon in your home because it is not always evident when it is there.
The outcome of the First World War (28th July 1914 – 11th November 1918), also known as the “war to end all wars” (Wells, 1961), was not enough to end all problems that caused it, therefore there was a call for a Second World War (1st of September 1939 - 2nd of September 1945). This war (World War 2) between the Allies and Axial power block had a very important role in the impact of technology during this period. As tension grew between opposing forces, so did its technological surroundings, and with days leading up to the war, different proposal of new war technologies were requested by the British Air Ministry. One of these technologies a RADIO DETECTING AND RANGING DEVICE (RADAR). The purpose of
Radioactivity is defined as “the spontaneous emission of particles”. (Nuclear Energy). Radioactivity is caused by an unbalanced nucleus in the cell. This happens because there is either an uneven number of protons and/or neutrons. When this happens, the element is considered to have multiple isotopes. An isotope is an atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Thus, they have different atomic weights. This is important to know because there is a such thing as a radioactive isotope. These elements just have additional energy, and they release radiation in different forms. “There are over 800 radioactive isotopes, some of which are natural and some synthetic.” (Helmenstine). Radioactive elements can be both artificial and natural. However, in medicine, most of them are more than likely synthetic, since they are the most popular types.
