2	How is brain-scans done? CO 11.1 Associated with brain-scan technology is the use of small amounts of radioactive substances.
3	Marie Curie discovered radium Fig. 11.1 Marie Curie, one of the pioneers in the study of radioactivity, is the first person to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes for scientific work.
4	Effect of electromagnetic fields on ionization radiation Fig. 11.2 The effect of an electromagnetic field on alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
5	What is half-life period? Fig. 11.3 After each half-life period, the quantity of material present at the beginning of the period is reduced by half.
6	Half-life and decay
7	Radioactive decay
8	Bombardment reaction Fig. 11.4 Ernest Rutherford was the first person to carry out a bombardment reaction.
9	Details of radioactive nuclides Table 11.2
