Blast from the Past
An atom with less electrons in the cloud than protons in the nucleus.
What is a cation?
Gamma, Beta, and Alpha
What are the three types of radiation?
The process whereby a large nucleus is split by artificial transmutation into smaller nuclei with the release of a large amount of energy derived from the conversion of a tiny bit of mass into energy.
What is a fission nuclear reaction?
An application for the byproduct of a nuclear reaction that breaks down the DNA in cells in a way that is beneficial for humans.
What is targeted radiation therapy for cancer cells?
The main component of an atom involved in the ionic or covalent bonding of molecules.
What is an electron?
A compound that easily releases a hydrogen atom to keep the electrons.
What is an acid?
Emits a helium nucleus as part of it's decay, generally not harmful to humans unless directly ingested.
What is alpha radiation?
The process whereby two small nuclei are combined to form one larger nucleus with release of a huge amount of energy derived from the conversion of a tiny bit of mass into energy.
What is a fusion nuclear reaction?
A form of clean energy that can be produced by the fission or fusion of nuclear reactions? (The answer is not simply 'nuclear energy')
What is the heat energy harnessed from nuclear reactions?
This subatomic particle turns into a proton that emits a beta particle during beta radiation.
What is a neutron?
A property that measures the intrinsic values of a compound, you do not need the volumetric dimensions in order to measure this type of property. Examples: melting point, density
What is an intensive physical property?
This type of radiation has no mass and no charge.
What is gamma radiation (gamma rays)?
A large part of fusion reactions depend on the interactions of atoms that are these (they have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons)
What are isotopes?
The element that undergoes radioactive decay in fire detectors.
What is americium?
These two components are the sole contributors to an atom's mass.
What are protons and neutrons?
This type of kinetic energy transfer occurs when a compound is going from a solid to a liquid. (A type of reaction)
What is an endothermic reaction?
3617Cl . If the 17 is the lower left number, and the 36 is the upper left number, it is what the 36 represents.
What is mass number in nuclear notation?
In this type of nuclear reaction a neutron is accelerated and thrown at the nucleus of an atom, causing it to break apart, and release massive amounts of energy.
What is neutron induced nuclear fission reaction?
The particle released that causes the most ionization.
What are helium nuclei?
A balance of these two subatomic particles leads to a neutral charge on an atom.
What are electrons and protons?
One mole of any substance is this quantity.
What is 602 sextillion?
A device that can measure the trajectory of ionized particles via the interactions recorded around the condensation of the ionizing points. Alcohol is used for it's low freezing point.
What is a cloud chamber?
The type of radiation which created the Hulk.
What is gamma radiation?
The main complication that lead to the nuclear meltdown on the Soviet k-19 submarine.
What was a microscopic crack in the cooling pipe & no back up cooling system?
This makes up the majority of an atom.
What is empty space?
