Question
Answer
What is a nuclide?   show
🗑
show Atoms with the same number of protons but containing different numbers of electrons.  
🗑
show They are bound together by the strong nuclear force. (Very attractive force but it only acts at a range of 2e-15m).  
🗑
What is the mass defect?   show
🗑
Equation for mass energy equivalence:   show
🗑
Equation for binding energy:   show
🗑
What is binging energy?   show
🗑
What are the three ways a particle can decay to be more stable?   show
🗑
show When a particle emits an He nucleus. The particle looses 2 protons and 2 neutrons (4amu). Typical in large, unstable atoms. Z>90  
🗑
show Typically happens only in nuclei with Z^2/A > 45  
🗑
show AKA Beta Decay, common in nuclei with Z < 90. Negative beta decay is when a neutron is turned into a proton.  
🗑
show Nucleons, charge, total energy, and angular momentum (spin).  
🗑
show The probability that a single nuclei will decay per unit time.  
🗑
show Number of decays/second (measured in Curies or Becquerel)  
🗑
What is radiation?   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
