Question
Answer
discovered radioactivity,hypothesis is that radioactivity is "invisible energy emitting from ore"   becquerie  
🗑
students of becquerie, studied "invisible energy",coined word radioactivity, made 1st synthetic elements   Pierre and Marie Currie  
🗑
first synthetic elements made   Radium and polonium  
🗑
the release of particles and energy from an unstable nuclei   radioactivity  
🗑
the number of protons doesnt equal number of neutrons   unstability  
🗑
an element with a specific atomic mass and specific atomic number   nuclide  
🗑
spontanious breahdown of the nuclei   radioactive decay  
🗑
one element turning into another element   transmutation  
🗑
weakest form of radiation,made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons,positive particle,helium nucleus,can be stopped by a single sheet of paper   alpha particle  
🗑
negative charged particle,100x more penetration power,x-rays are created during _____ decay, can be stopped by 1cm of Al   beta particle  
🗑
not a particle,travels in waves,high frequency,short wavelength,cellular damage,can be stopped by high dense matter like pb   gamma radiation  
🗑
the time it takes for half of the radioactivity sample to decay   half life  
🗑
the atoms that undergo fission in the reactor   fuel supply  
🗑
pb "tylenol" around the core,secondary _________ unit structure is high density concreate   containment  
🗑
slows down the speed of neutrons to increase the accuracy of the hit,in the US heavy H2O   moderator  
🗑
rver water is constantly pouring over the core carrying heat away,helps control temps.   coolant  
🗑
controls the rate of the fission reaction,act like magnet to absorb neutrons to speed up/slow or stop chain reaction,in US boron and cadmium   control rods  
🗑
uses an electric current to detect radiation, glass tube filled with Ar or He with W wire running through it   geiger counter  
🗑
super saturated water vaper in a clean chamber, introduce radiation and leaves" cloud tracks" everywhere radiation was   cloud chamber  
🗑
fill a chamber with liquid just below boiling point,introduce radiation and bubble from everywhere radiation was   bubble chamber  
🗑
plate coated with AgBr, introduce radiation, reacts with AgBr to make a negative image of radiation pattern   nuclear emulsion  
🗑
during this, a helium nucleus is released form an unstable nucleus   alpha decay  
🗑
protons and neutrons are held together by this in a nucleus   binding energy  
🗑
an element with unstable nuclei produces this   radioactivity  
🗑
a neutron changes into a proton during this   beta decay  
🗑
the release of alpha particles is one kind of this   radioactive decay  
🗑
the most energetic type of radioactive decay is this   gamma decay  
🗑
when a nucleus of uranium-235 undergoes this 2 smaller nuclei result   nuclear fission  
🗑
