| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Radiation deflected toward the positively charged plate | Beta radiation |
| Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons | isotopes |
| high energy radiation that has no change and no mass | gamma ray |
| The smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element | atom |
| the weighted average mass of an element's isotopes | atom mass |
| the center-most part of an atom where the protons and neutrons are contained | nucleus |
| Radiation deflected toward the negativley charged plate | Alpha radiation |
| The rays and particles emitted by radioactive material | radioactive |
| Equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom | atomic mass unit |
| Ray of radiation traveling from the cathode to the anode | cathode ray |
| Process 9not requiring energy) by which unstable nuclei lose energy | radioactive decay |
| states that all matter is composed of atoms | Dalton's atomic theory |
| process whereby some substances spontaneously emit radiation | radioactivity |
| Compare and contrast Mass & atomic number | atomic number is the number of protons and electrons in an element & mass number is the number of protons & neutrons |
| Compare and Contrast nuclear reaction & nuclear equation | A nuclear reaction is a reaction that changes the nucleus & a nuclear equation is an equation that determines the mass of an atom |
| true or false~an atom's nucleus contains its protons and electrons | False |
| true or false~Neutrons have no electrical charge | True |
| true or false~beta particles have a charge of +2 | False |
| true or false~An alpha particle consists of two protons and two electrons | False |
