Rhenium-185 is a stable isotope. Rhenium-188 is a radioisotope for treatment of cancer. What type of emission is likely for this isotope?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhenium-188 is a radioisotope, which means it undergoes radioactive decay. The emissions associated with radioactive decay are alpha particles (α), beta particles (β), and gamma rays (γ). Positrons and X-rays are not associated with radioactive decay. The likely emission for Rhenium-188 is a beta particle, so the best choice is B: "F1F1F1S1βF1F1F10"
