Why would a doctor most likely restrict a patient's contact with other people while the patient receives
internal radiation?
The patient's stress and anxiety would be eliminated.
High levels of radiation can diffuse through the patient's skin.
Social contact would increase the effect of the radiation treatment.
Radioactive material can leave the patient's body through saliva, sweat, and urine. - Precise Answer
✔✔Radioactive material can leave the patient's body through saliva, sweat, and urine.
Which is true about reaction rates?
High reaction rates occur only in spontaneous reactions.
Low reaction rates occur only in nonspontaneous reactions.
Reaction rates are not dependent on high or low activation energies.
Reaction rates are not related to spontaneity. - Precise Answer ✔✔Reaction rates are not related to
spontaneity.
Which best describes what forms in nuclear fission?
two smaller, more stable nuclei
