Atomic and Nuclear Physics Review

Parts of an Atom

100

These are the smallest part of an atom located in the cloud

What are electrons.

200

These particles are small, located in the nucleus and have a positive charge. 

Proton

300

This number represents the total number of Protons in the nucleus, and defines which element the Atom is.

What is the atomic number.

400

If an electron has a 47 Protons and 58 Neutrons, what is the atoms Mass Number A?

What is A=105

500

Find the mass difference of a deuteron if it has 1 Proton and one Neutron, and its mass is 2.014102u. 

0.002388u

Nuclear Binding

100

This is the energy released when nucleons come together to form a stable nucleus. 

Binding Energy

200

This is the equation to Calculate the binding energy of am Atom. 

E=m_deltac²

300

The number of this particle in an atom determine the stability of an atom, which goes down as the number of these increases.

What are Neutrons

400

Calculate the total binding energy of ²⁰₁₀Ne

160.65MeV

500

Calculate the Binding Energy of a ⁴⁰₂₀Ca

342.06MeV

Fussion

100

When two small atoms smash into each other we call this

What is nuclear Fussion?

200

Nuclear Fussion only happens when the mass numbers are 

Smaller than Lead/ Pb82

300

What becomes the loss of mass when light elements are fused to become heavier ones?

What is it becomes energy?

400

When an Atom is split apart it undergoes 

What is Nuclear Fission.

500

Complete the Following fission Decay Chain

¹₀n+²³⁵₉₂ U=¹⁴⁰₅₆ Ba+ ______ +3¹₀n

⁹³₃₆Kr

Radioactive Decay

100

This type of decay involves the conversion of Neutrons to Protons

Beta Decay

200

Complete the Beta Decay Reaction

¹⁴₆C = ____ +⁰_-1e

¹⁴₇N

300

This type or Nuclear decay Releases a Photon when it decays.

What is gamma decay.

400

This the time it takes for half of a sample to decay.

What is the half life?

500

48g of P-32 decomposes until 3g remain. How much time has gone by? (half-life of P-32 is 14 days)

56 Days

Nuclear Decay

100

These are the three types of Nuclear Decay

What are alpha, beta and Gamma

200

This type of Nuclear Decay releases lets go of a Helium Particle

What is Alpha Decay?

300

This is the cause of energy being released in radioactivity 

What is the conversion of Mass to Energy?

400

Complete the following Decay Chain

8 - 4 -BE +   4  2  HE = 

What is 12 - 6 C

500

Complete the following Reaction

¹₀n + ²³⁵₉₂U= ¹⁴⁴₅₄Xe + ______ +4¹₀n
