metalradionuclide
A metalradionuclide is a radionuclide that is also a metal. Radionuclides are atoms that have unstable nuclei and decay over time, emitting radiation. Metals are a class of elements characterized by their luster, malleability, ductility, and good conductivity of heat and electricity. Therefore, a metalradionuclide possesses both of these properties.
Examples of metalradionuclides include isotopes of common metals like uranium (e.g., Uranium-238), lead (e.g., Lead-210), and
Metalradionuclides have various applications and implications. Some are used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging and
However, metalradionuclides can also pose health and environmental risks. Their radioactivity can damage living tissues, and
