When sedimentary rock is deposited in layers it is deposited horizontally.. Scientists use this “Principle of Original Horizontality” to help them determine the age of the layers.. The older layers of rock are found below the younger layers of rock.. Unscramble the following keywords for today’s lesson:. . Yecad. Iriaovadect. Ootspei. Nsteruon. nadgit. Isotopes . When the nucleus of an atom possesses either too many or too few neutrons compared to the number of protons it becomes unstable. These are called radioactive isotopes. Unstable nuclei split up in a process called radioactive decay and emit radioactive radiation.. What number equals the number of protons?. Atomic Number. From the periodic table – . How is the mass of a “regular” (most abundant) atom determined?. Protons Neutrons = Atomic Mass. An Isotope is defined as…. IONIZING RADIATION x0000x0000Division of Toxicology September 1999 x/MCIxD 2 x/MCIxD 2 Radiation doses from procedures used by licensed physicians in diagnosis and treatment of disease is not limited Following the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896, many scientists were keen to find out more about it and understand where it came from.. In a radioactive atom, the nucleus is unstable and so it emits particles or waves of radiation to form a more stable atom. . 53 1 Bq = 1 disintegration per sec. The accepted practice is to give the activity of a radioactive source in becquerel. This is because Bq is the unit chosen for the system of international units ( Commenwealth. of Massachusetts (Radiation Control Program), as specified by 105 CMR 120. . http://www.mass.gov/dph/rcp/radia.htm. .
