Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) Radioisotopes used in diagnostic medicine are usually gamma emitters.
(2) Ion pair formation involves the nonchemical removal of electrons from atoms to form ions.
(3) In beta decay the parent and daughter nuclides have the same mass number.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1) True: Radioisotopes used in diagnostic medicine are typically gamma emitters because gamma rays can penetrate the body and be detected externally, making them useful for imaging. 2) True: Ion pair formation indeed involves the nonchemical removal of electrons from atoms, leading to the creation of ions. 3) True: In beta decay, the mass number of the parent and daughter nuclides remains the same, although the atomic number changes.
