Answer» RIGHT choice is (a) CURIE and Becquerel 1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 Bq For explanation: Curie and Becquerel SIGNIFY the AMOUNT of disintegration of the radioactive substance in a unit time. Curie was an older unit and had a very high value which was not feasible for ELEMENTS with lower activity. Thus, Becquerel unit was created which is one disintegration per second. |
