fission & fussion
chapter 16
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This can occur naturally or it can be controlled by scientist and enginees to produce electricity | nuclear energy |
| this has 6 neutrons | c-12 = carbon 12 |
| this has 8 neutrons | c-14 = carbon 14 |
| what is the atomic mass that is on the periodic table for carbon | 12.01 |
| what is the atomic number of carbon | 6 |
| large atoms - split apart when neutrons are slammed into radioactive elements uses nuclear reactors to produce electricity like atomic bombs | fission |
| smaller atoms fuse together uses fuels like stars and hydrogen bombs | fusion |
| represents particle or energy that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom can be dangerous but if used properly can be beneficial especially in the medical profession | nuclear radiation |
| energy emitted with no mass and no charge that travels at the speed of light | y = gamma rays |
| a particle with a +2 charge that is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons | alpha particle = a |
| a particle with a mass of 0 and -1 charge that is emitted at high speed | beta particle = b |
| alpha particle, beta particle, and gamma rays are examples of what | radiation emitted |
