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 />
