Whats in an Atom?
These are much lighter than the proton and carry the opposite charge
What is an electron?
A particle that has two protons and two neutrons
What is an alpha particle?
A particle with little mass and a single unit of negative charge (like an electron)
What is a beta particle?
The process by which a heavier nucleus splits into smaller nuclei and releases energy in the process
What is fission?
This type of particle roam around in an atom far from the nuclues
What is an electron?
Element that is created when 226Ra88 decays by alpha decay
What is 222Rn86?
The particle in the nucleus that converts to a proton and an electron
What is a neutron?
The process by which lighter nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus and release energy in the process
What is fusion?
The particles in the nucleus that repel each other
What is the Protons?
