Bone and bony structures contain calcium and phosphorus.

b. During nuclear tests, scientists were concerned that strontium-85, a radioactive product, would be harmful to the growth of bone in children. Explain.

Technetium-99m emits only gamma radiation. Why would this type of radiation be used in diagnostic imaging rather than an isotope that also emits beta or alpha radiation?

Write the balanced nuclear equation for each of the following:

e. In-113m (γ emission)

Complete each of the following nuclear equations:

d. ^23m₁₂Mg → ? + ⁰₀γ
