QuestionAnswer
Name 3 types of nuclear radiation Alpha particles, Beta particles, Gamma Rays
Describe an atom Nucleus containing protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge) surrounded by electrons (negative charge) that sit on surrounding rings.
Describe the penetration of Alpha particles Highly ionizing, unable to go very far through matter, brought to rest by a few centimeters of air
Describe the penetration of Beta particles more penetrating then alpha, less damaging to living tissue due to spread out ionizations
Describe the penetration of Gamma Rays highly penetrating, less ionizing then alpha, radiation can occur throughout a body, interacts with matter through photoelectric effect, compton scattering, or pair production.
Define ionizing when ions change the charge of an atom and make it unstable
Atomic number is the same as _____ and ______ number of protons and number of electrons
Atomic mass/weight = _________ + __________ Number of protons + number of neutrons
What is an isotope a version of an atom with a different number of neutrons
what's the difference between Stable and unstable nuclei stable is normal and unstable is unbalanced and differently charged causing it to break apart overtime.
what's a radioisotope a special type of atom that gives off energy in the form of radiation
what's a half life the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay. This occurs and half's over and over.
what is the top left number in a square on the periodic table atomic number or proton number
what is the bottom number in a square on the periodic table atomic mass/weight

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.
