I think you should review your notes and answers. I question 64, 66, 67, 69 and I quit reading.
Did you even try? 70 is not a film badge. Where did you get that from? It's a Geiger counter.
Your answers are mostly correct, with one incorrect answer for question 70. Let me explain the correct answers and the reasoning behind them:
63. The correct answer is Covalent bond. In a polymer, the monomers are linked together by covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
64. The correct answer is decreases by 1. When an atom emits a beta particle, it undergoes beta decay, where one of its neutrons is transformed into a proton. This increases the atomic number by 1 and decreases the atomic mass by 1.
65. The correct answer is soft tissue. Ionizing radiation can cause damage to living tissues. Soft tissue, such as organs and cells, is more susceptible to damage compared to materials like lead, paper, or wood.
66. The correct answer is electron with mass of 0 and charge of -1. In the given reaction, Radon-222 (atomic mass 222) decomposes into Polonium-218. During this decay, an electron, often referred to as a beta particle, is emitted.
67. The correct answer is no change. Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation and does not involve the emission of particles. Therefore, it does not cause a change in the atomic number or mass of an atom.
68. The correct answer is occurs to a large extent in nuclear reactors. Carbon-14 is produced through the reaction of nitrogen with neutrons in nuclear reactors. It is used for various applications, such as radiocarbon dating and medical diagnostics.
69. The correct answer is can be controlled in the laboratory. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining light atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy. While it naturally occurs in the sun, scientists are working on achieving controlled fusion reactions in laboratory settings as a potential future energy source.
70. The correct answer is film badge. A film badge is a common device used to monitor and measure a person's exposure to radiation. It contains photographic film that records radiation levels and helps assess the amount of radiation a person has been exposed to.
Overall, your answers demonstrate a good understanding of the concepts. Keep up the good work!
