Question
Answer
Model   A simplified representation of something more complex, that facilitates understanding certain aspects of a real object or process  
🗑
Atoms   The smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element  
🗑
Nucleus   The dense, positively charged structure found in the center of the atom. It is composed of protons and neutrons  
🗑
Proton   A particle with a positive charge, found in the neucleus of atoms  
🗑
Electron   A particle with a negative charge. Electrons more very fast around the outside of the nucleus of atoms.  
🗑
Neutron   A particle that does not have a charge found in the nucleus of atoms  
🗑
Radioactive Isotopes   Any isotope that gas an unstable nucleus and decays over time  
🗑
Nuclear Reaction   A process that involves changes the nucleus  
🗑
Radioactive Decay   A spontaneous Process by which an atom emits radiation or particle to become more stable  
🗑
Fusion   The joining of two nuclei to form a larger nucleus accompanied by a release of energy  
🗑
Fission   The splitting apart of an atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei accompanied by a release of energy  
🗑
Alpha Particle   A particle composed of two protons and two neutrons, equivalent to the nucleus of a helium atom  
🗑
Beta Particle   An electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom during beta decay  
🗑
Gamma Ray   A form of high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted during nuclear reactions  
🗑
Alpha Decay   Nucleus losses helium, 2 the left  
🗑
Beta Decay   Neutron turns into proton, move to the right  
🗑
