Question

Question 17 Neutron activation analysis is a technique that is used to __ detect the chemical reactivity of an element detect the mass number of an element detect the value of the disintegration constant of a radioactive element detect amounts of elements in a sample Points 2

Answer 1

### D. detect amounts of elements in a sample

Answer 2

## Step 1: Introduction to Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA)### Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is a highly sensitive and accurate analytical technique used in chemistry to determine the concentration of elements in various materials.## Step 2: Process of Neutron Activation Analysis### The process involves irradiating the sample with neutrons in a nuclear reactor, making the sample temporarily radioactive.## Step 3: Emission of Gamma Radiation### After irradiation, the radioactive isotopes in the sample emit gamma radiation.## Step 4: Analysis of Gamma Radiation### By analyzing the energy and intensity of the emitted gamma radiation, the elements present in the sample and their concentrations can be determined.#
