Indicate whether each of the following is characteristic of the fission or fusion process, or both:
a. Neutrons bombard a nucleus.
b. The nuclear process occurs in the Sun.

A nuclear technician was accidentally exposed to potassium-42 while doing brain scans for possible tumours. The error was not discovered until 36 h later when the activity of the potassium-42 sample was 2.0 Ci. If potassium- 42 has a half-life of 12 h, what was the activity of the sample at the time the technician was exposed?

c. A radioisotope emits a positron to form titanium-localid="1652508117019" .
d. An atom of germanium-localid="1652508119937" emits a positron.
