Thorium 236 decays into Thorium 232. What type of radiation occurred?
apha decay, loses two protons and two neutrons (a weight of 4) 236-4=232
200

Scientists associated with nuclear chemistry

rutherford, oppenhiemer, einstein, curie

200

The element used in the atom bomb is....

Uranium or Plutonium

200

These particles determine the charge of an atom

Proton and Electron

200
The type of decay that can be stopped by aluminum/steel
beta decay
200
If an element undergoes beta decay will the atomic mass change?
Yes the mass will increase by one, it has lost an electron and a neutron has changed to a proton
300

Nuclear chemistry is used for medicine, bombs and.....

energy, electricity, power

300

The events occurring in a nuclear bomb can be described as a domino effect also known as a __________reaction

chain reaction

300

There particles determine the atomic mass of an atom.

Proton and Neutron 

300
The type of decay that can be stopped by lead
gamma decay
300
Carbon 18 loses two protons and two neutrons, it has gone through __________ decay
alpha decay
400
True or False. There is radiation all around is but it is low enough to be safe.
True it is called background radiation
400
Where is a safe place to hide in the event of a nuclear bomb?
In a concrete bunker under ground
400

These particles determine the stability of an atom.

Proton and Neutron

400
The type of decay where two protons and two neutrons are lost
alpha decay
400
If uranium 267 undergoes gamma decay what does it become?
Uranium 267 because gamma decay loses no mass or matter just energy
500

The time it takes an amount of radioactive material to lose half its radioactive atoms

half life

500

EC: What was the technology of the bomb also used for?

rockets to space / the discovery probe

500

Two atoms of the same element with different masses.

Isotope
