Question | Answer |
---|---|
_____ required to break up a nucleus into protons and neutron | binding energy |
mass defect? | difference b/t mass proton and neutrons relative to mass of nucleus |
Z | atomic/ proton number |
A | mass#- proton+neutrons |
____ same proton number but different mass number | isotope |
mass of nucleus is always ______ than the combined mass of protons and neutron | less |
formula for binding energy | = mass defect x c^2 |
_______ split nucleus into smaller nuclei | fission |
_______ combine smaller nuclei into one nucleus | fusion |
true or false both fusion and fission release energy | True because their initial mass is> than final mass |
alpha decay | A daughter = A parent -4 (mass#) Z daughter= Z parent -2 |
beta decay (-e) | A daughter= A parent Z daughter =Z parent +1 (neutron changes to proton) |
positron decay (+e) | A daughter= A parent Z daughter =Z parent - 1 (proton splits into positron and neutron) |
_______ cant penetrate lead | alpha |
gamma decay | A daughter = A parent Z daughter = A parent |
______ high energy photons | gamma |
T1/2 (half life) | time for 1/2 sample to decay |
gen formula for fraction of remaining nuclei after n half lives | (1/2)^n |
