Fluorine-18 has a half-life of 110 minutes. Indicate which statements are true, if any, about fluorine-18 by checking the box in front of each true statement. A fluorine-18 atom has an equal number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. A fluorine-18 atom has an odd number of protons and an odd number of neutrons. A fluorine-18 atom undergoes alpha-decay. A fluorine-18 atom undergoes beta-decay. A fluorine-18 atom undergoes positron-decay (positron emission). The half-life for 1.00 g of fluorine-18 atoms...

A nuclear medicine source made of 32P with half-life of 14.3 days emits beta particles at 0.70 MeV. Ten grams of 32P concentrate in a tiny tumor in the bladder after injection. The activity is initially 1.0 x 1010 Bq. Compute the dose (in units of Gy) delivered at the tumor two half-lives after injection. For a more accurate answer, you should integrate the dose rate over time as the source strength changes due to radioactive decay.
