Why are bananas so radioactive?
In: Chemistry
>So radioactive
They’re not very radioactive at all. But they do contain potassium, which is slightly radioactive. Potassium is radioactive because… well, it just is. Some elements are stable some are radioactive, which just means they break down into other smaller elements in a way that gives off radiation of some sort. Some break down faster than others. Potassium breaks down VERY slowly, so it only gives off very little radiation. But not zero.
