Fluorine Radioactive

Radioactive fluorine

Radioactive fluorine is the general name for a variety of radioactive isotope elements formed during the radioactive decay of the nucleus of an atom of a non-radioactive element containing fluorine (F) with a mass number from 19 to 40. The radioisotopic stability of a radioactive isotope is determined by its mass number and the radiation excitation function of the nucleus of the parent radioactive atom. Isotopic radioactive emitting gamma quanta have an emission period from several microseconds to several hours or days. The general meaning of the name is that studies of the radioactivity of isotopes are carried out with the aim of clarifying the general features of their decay and structure, as well as to detect these atomic structures under conditions where the energy level is insufficient to trigger a stable photon-nuclear reaction or allows it to proceed very slowly process at the temperature of ordinary laboratory and practical conditions. Also, the general name of a number of isotopes in order of increasing mass number F 1612 - due to its short “intermediate” radioactivity (136.2 ± 0.3 ms) excites significant voltage fluctuations on the measuring system. The name "unstable" is largely accurate, given the short "estimated" half-life of this series of radioactive fluors (11.5 ± 4.2 μs). Alpha particles of this spectrum are almost completely absorbed near cerium, platinum wire - celise, barium - myobi, kaolin - alumyl. A position-sensitive detector based on a positron and neutron source localizes beta radiation of this spectrum, which exceeds the limit of applicability of the Geiger-Muller counter. Estimation of the half-life of beta decay taking into account the decay of cerium atoms and absorption of nuclear fission plasma; therefore, the result is not

Fluorine radioactive isotopes (radon, thorium) have relatively long half-lives (from 2-3 days to several years) and therefore cannot be used in nuclear energy as an energy source (due to high radioactivity); they are also used to solve scientific problems in various fields of knowledge - nuclear physics, geochemistry, medicine, biology.
