Document Summary
Radioisotopes: gives of enery in 3 forms of radiation waves. Alpha; weakest (easily blocked by thin sheets like paper or clothes), but is still deadly if came in contact direct ( for example if you swallow something with alpha waves you might get cancer or even die) Beta: middle; kinda strong but not strong enough harm. Alpha: really strong need like suits to protect ur self from it . Radioactive decay: isotopes that are unstable give off radiation waves ^^ (those waves) and sometimes by giving off these radiation the structure of the atom changes, resulting in different number of protons. Because we can use it to our advantage! It can be used to treat cancer or even detect diseases in diferent parts of the body. Electronegativity: the ability of an atom to be able to attract electrons. So the more electrons on the outer shell you have the stronger your electronegativity is.
