Unit 3<br />
Chapter 25 Nuclear <strong>Chem</strong>istry<br />
The students will learn what happens when an unstable<br />
nucleus decays and how nuclear chemistry affects their lives.<br />
Explore the theory of electromagnetism by comparing and contrasting the<br />
different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of wavelength,<br />
frequency, and energy, and relate them to phenomena and applications.<br />
Students will be able to compare and contrast the different parts of the<br />
electromagnetic spectrum.<br />
Students will be able to apply knowledge of the EMS to real world phenomena.<br />
Students will be able to quantitatively compare the relationship between energy,<br />
wavelength, and frequency of the EMS.<br />
