Learning Goal for this section:<br />
Explain and compare nuclear reactions (radioactive decay, fission and fusion),<br />
the energy changes associated with them and their associated safety issues.<br />
Notes Section:<br />
P- 1 amu<br />
N- 1amu<br />
E- none<br />
More neutrons= more likely to be radioactive<br />
Carbon dating= estimating the age past the living thing<br />

Alpha particle<br />
If it goes through alpha radiation than it will become helium uranium<br />
Beta Particle<br />
Negative- C-N, 7 protons and 7 neutrons means stable Postive- Vhange<br />
one of the protons to a neutron<br />
mass-bigger # chemical symbol<br />
proton #Gama Radiation- energyHalf life- when an radioactive<br />
substance loses half the mass over a<br />
period of time.<br />
radionuclides have a particular half life<br />
Alpha and Beta rays emit gamma rays<br />
Neutrons and protons make up the mass of the nucleus<br />
Alpha decay only occurs in certain elements<br />
Elements can have neutrons with diffierent nuclei in them<br />
