Isotopes
The amount of this subatomic particle is what makes an element and its isotope different
What are neutrons?
The three main types of radioactive decay
What are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay?
The state Ms. Ellis is from
What is California?
These subatomic particles are the same in BOTH the element and its isotope.
What are protons and electrons?
Describe alpha decay
What is an unstable atom releases a Helium atom (alpha particle) and results in a nucleus with two less protons?
The player on the cover of 2K15
What is Kevin Durant?
The number "214" in Lead-214 mean this
What is mass number?
The type of decay in which the atomic number and mass number do not change
What is gamma decay?
The mass number of an isotope of Carbon that has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 8 neutrons.
What is 14?
Describe the difference between Beta plus decay and Beta minus decay
In Beta minus decay you have a neutron converted to a proton, an electron emitted, and the atomic number increases by one.
In Beta plus decay you have a proton converted to a neutron, a positron emitted, and the atomic number decreases by one.

What is George Washington Carver?
The number of neutrons in Polonium-250.
What is 166?
Describe how atomic number changes from Alpha Decay, Beta plus Decay, Beta minus decay, and Gamma Decay
Alpha decay: removes 2 protons
Beta plus decay: removes one proton
Beta minus decay: adds one proton
Gamma decay: no change
