ANSWER:

Solution 35 QPStep-1a. Here we have to explain why would the radioisotopes calcium-47 and phosphorus-32 be used in the diagnosis and treatment of bone diseases.Calcium-47 and phosphorus-32 be used in the diagnosis and treatment of bone diseases because the elements Ca and P are present in our bone.Their radioactive isotopes will also become part of the bony structures of the body where their radiation can be used to diagnose or treat bone diseases.Step-2b. Here we have to write a balanced nuclear equation for the beta emission of radioisotope stronti
