Spider-man was bitten by a _____ spider.
radioactive
200
Two or more forms of the same element. I will have an equal number of protons but a different number of neutrons in the nuclei.
Isotope
200
In a chemical equation, the initial material is called the reactants and after the chemical reaction you get the _________ .
Product(s)
200
Which subatomic particle will tell you the weight of the nucleus of an element?
Proton
200
Fusion is how the sun and stars get their energy. Describe what happens from one layer to the next layer.
The chemical reactions have atoms fuse together and this keeps happening until you get to the iron core. At the iron core is where fusion stops.

The Hulk was created because he was exposed to...
gamma radiation
300
A star explosion is called a
supernova
300
What type of decay am I?
Alpha Decay
300
I have an atomic number 8 and my atomic mass is 16.
Oxygen
300
This scientist won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for discovering Polonium and Radium; because of her discovery her notebooks will be radioactive for the next 11,000 years.
Marie Curie
300
In DBZ, Goku and Vegeta touched fingertips to become a stronger being. This is similair to what type of nuclear reaction? Describe what happens with the elements in this nuclear reaction.
Fusion. During fusion, elements combine together, or fuse, to form a new element. Typically the elements will keep appearing in the order of the periodic table.
400
an unstable atom that does not have the correct number of protons and neutron ratio.
Radioactive/radioisotope
400
What type of decay am I ?
Beta Decay
400
I come after alpha or beta decay. I can stabilize this excited nucleus be emitting a type of ray.
Gamma (γ ) decay
400
What occurs in both fusion and fission reactions?
1. Small amounts of energy are converted into large amounts of matter.
2. Small amounts of matter are converted into large amounts of energy.
3. Heavy nuclei are split into lighter nuclei.
4. Light nuclei are combined into heavier nuclei.
2. Small amounts of matter are converted into large amounts of energy.
400
In the Spider-man 2 clip we watched Dr. Octopus try to harness the power of an isotope of hydrogen called Tritium. Why did this cause an explosion in his lab?
It wan an unstable isotope.
500
What are the nuclear reactions you have learned about and their properties. Hint: 5 reactions
Alpha decay- has an alpha particle(helium) leaving
Beta decay- has a beta particle leaving and this can either increase or decrease the product by an atomic number of 1
Gamma decay comes after alpha or beta to stabilize the atom after those reactions
Fission-separates the atom, this can be done in nuclear power plants
Fusion-fuses the elements together, this is done under extreme pressure and gravity, such as the sun.
500
This equation refers to nuclear fuel. Which nuclear reaction is it referring to?
Fission
500
I stated the equation 
which tells you the more mass you have the more energy is produced? What is my name?
Albert Einstein
500
Which change occurs in a nuclear fission reaction?
1. Covalent bonds are converted to ionic bonds.
2. Isotopes are converted to isomers.
3. Temperature is converted to mass.
4. Matter is converted to energy.
4. Matter is converted to energy.
500
This fictional character was created after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What is the name of the character and nuclear reaction?
Godzilla/Gojira; fission
