Question
Radon (222 Rn), a dense, noble gas, is commonly found in basements in some areas of the United States. Radon is a daughter of 238U decay. Which statement about radon is not correct? Choose one a. Radon levels in a basement can be detected and analyzed by radon detectors. answer. . . b. Radon emits a particles. c. 222Rn, when ingested, changes to polonium (218Po), a solid. This is normally flushed out of the body. d. Radon levels in a basement can be controlled by ventilation and proper level monitoring.Explanation / Answer
Solution :-
222Rn is the radioactive nuclei which decays to 218Po by the alpha decay. Therefore the statements a,b and d are correct statements.
The incorrect statement is the statement 'c'
