Q. What happens when radioactive material decays?
Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. This process changes the atom to a different element or a different isotope. The half-life of a radioactive material can be changed using time dilation effects.

Q. What happens to the radioactive element within rock as it decays?
Radioactive decay involves the spontaneous transformation of one element into another. The only way that this can happen is by changing the number of protons in the nucleus (an element is defined by its number of protons). There are a number of ways that this can happen and when it does, the atom is forever changed.
Q. What two things can be formed after radioactive decay of an element?
This decay, called spontaneous fission, happens when a large unstable nucleus spontaneously splits into two (or occasionally three) smaller daughter nuclei, and generally leads to the emission of gamma rays, neutrons, or other particles from those products.
Q. What is the most dangerous class of dangerous goods?
ADR
| UN Class | Dangerous Goods | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Explosives | Explosive |
| 2 | Gases | Flammable gas |
| Non-flammable, non-toxic gas | ||
| Toxic gas |
Q. Is a banana a day enough potassium?
Adults should consume about 3,500mg of potassium per day, according to the UK’s National Health Service. The average banana, weighing 125g, contains 450mg of potassium, meaning a healthy person can consume at least seven-and-half bananas before reaching the recommended level.
Q. What is the most dangerous vegetable?
The 12 most dangerous fruits and vegetables are:
- Apples, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, grapes, celery, spinach, sweet bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, imported snap peas and potatoes.
- On a better note, the EWG also produced a list of “Clean Fruit and Vegetables”
