What happens to Iodine-125 brachytherapy seeds after decay?
Iodine-125 (53125I) decays by beta+ decay, with a half-life of 59.4 days, to tellurium-125 (52125Te), which is stable and non-radioactive.
What is iodine 125 used for in medicine?
Iodine is used to treat prostate cancer and brain damage
What is the daughter product for the beta decay of iodine-136?
We know that iodine-131 will undergo beta minus decay, and an electron will appear as a result. (An electron antineutrino will also be produced, but we don't want to go there in this topic.)
What is the half life of iodine 125?
8.02 days
Atomic number 50 and mass number 125 contains?
iodine
The half of iodine-125 is 60 days.What fraction of iodine-125 nuclides would be left after 360 days?
Assuming that "half" refers to "half-life", 360/60 = 6 so fraction left = 1/26 = 1/64
What decaying radioisotope produces xenon-131 through beta decay?
Iodine 131 -> Xe 131 + e-
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of iodine?
Here is the equation for the beta minus decay of iodine-131: 53131I => 54131Xe + e- + ve The iodine-131 undergoes a transformation when a down quark within a neutron in its nucleus changes into an up quark. This change is mediated by the weak interaction, or weak force. The neutron then becomes a proton, and an electron is created and ejected from the nucleus along with an antineutrino.

How many days must elapse for a 0.80 Mg sample of iodine-131 in the thyroid to decay to 0.10 Mg?
The time required is 24.06 days. The half life of iodine 131 is 8.02 days.
Iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days. When will 10 lbs of iodine 131 not be radioactive anymore?
Never. As a simple exponential-decay problem, it can get as small as you want if you're willing to wait long enough, but it never reaches zero.
How many electrons is in iodine-125?
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
What has 51 protons 51 electrons and 74 neutrons?
The element Iodine has 53 protons, 53 electrons, and 74 neutrons
