IPC Unit 3

IPC Unit 3 Nuclear Reactions Learning Statements

QuestionAnswer
Two types of nuclear reactions fission & fusion
can be used to produce energy and to conduct medical tests nuclear reactions
reactions that split the nucleus of an atom; when a isotope is bombarded with high speed particles to split the atom fission
reactions that join two smaller nuclei to make an atom with a larger nucleus; two low mass isotopes join together under extreme pressure and temperature fusion
type of reactor that currently requires more energy to force atoms together than the energy that is produced fusion nuclear reactors
currently rely on fission reactions to produce high amounts of energy nuclear reactors
What type of reaction occurs on the sun and produces large amounts of energy? fusion nuclear reactions
What removes excess heat from the reactor core of a nuclear reactor? coolant
_______________ can be alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. radiation
Nuclear medicine imagining uses radioactive tracers that are swallowed or injected into the patient and emit _______________. A gamma camera detects the gamma rays and creates an image of the function of the organ. Gamma ray radiation
What is an example of fission nuclear reactions used in medicine? Fast Neutron Therapy
What type of scans emit gamma radiation that is released by a fission reaction? PET Scans
What are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons? isotopes
What is the excess energy released by unstable atoms becoming stable? radiation
Atoms undergo fission --> makes heat --> turns water to steam in a turbine --> turns the turbine --> generates electricity how nuclear reactors produce energy
Is energy released or absorbed during nuclear reactions? released
What type of nuclear reactions release radiation? fission and fusion

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
