Which material would be used if the main criterion was keeping the cost of materials as low as possible? Which material would be used if the main criterion was getting the best preformance from the material? Explain your reasoning.

Which of the following statements is true? a. elements in the last period are radioactive. b. atomic weight is the same as atomic mass. c. elements in the same group have the same number of electron shells. d. atomic number equals the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Americium-241 undergoes fission to produce three neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with this sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 1.8 neutrons per fission event, which will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. remove a deflective shield surrounding the sample. remove absorbent material mixed in with the sample. compress the sample of americium-241.
