@twilight and hyebyekadal
The question is this that whether the compoud caesium chloride will be radioactive or not? If i haven't understood wrong then u guyz said tht the caesium will still remain radioactive and so you mean that the compoud will also be radioactive ???

Well, I thought the answer was No because... Radioactivity is a nuclear process and not a chemical reaction... while bonding with chlorine is a chemical reaction and so the compound caesium chloride will not be radioactive.

But i not sure im right or wrong ???

hyebyekadal:
ur rong itll remain radoactive.. read ur notes . or read my comment again. i have to go now.

sweetsh:
This is not included in IGCSE 2009 syllabus

astarmathsandphysics:
Chemical and radioactive process are completely independent and radioactive elements remain radioactive even when they are part of a compound

twilight:
yup .. and that's why they told u the meat was radio active .. caesium would surly b in the form of a compound in the meat
if it radioactivity would b affected by chemical reactions then the meat would not become radioactive as caesium would have gone through a series of chemical reactions in the goat's body

so it's a clue that's given that means radioactive caesium would still remain radioactive even in a compound
