Bonus (double points)
100
The subatomic particle that is almost 2000x bigger than an electron and has a charge of +1.
What is a proton?
100
The type of radiation that occurs when an atom spits out the heaviest of all particles which is similar in structure to a single helium atom.
What is alpha decay/emission?
100
The amount of time it takes for half of a material to decay.
What is a half-life?
100
This is the most recognizable part for each element. Only consists of 1 capital letter and sometimes 1 lowercase letter.
What is the atomic symbol?
100
This kind of radiation is the most energetic and has been associated with green guys who workout.
What is gamma radiation?
200
The smallest subatomic particle that is attracted to the positive end of a magnet.
What is an electron?
200
The type of radiation that occurs when a small negatively charges particle is spit out by an atom resulting in the loss of a singular negative charge.
What is beta/electron decay/emission?
200
The number of half-lives that have passed if you started with 500g of material and now you have 250g.
What is 1 half-life?
200
This is the identification number of an element. It also tells you how many protons are in the element.
What is the atomic number?
200
The first people to theorize about the atom and make assumptions about what they are.
Who are the greeks? (double points if you can name the exact person we talked about in class)
300
Because atoms naturally have the same number of electrons and protons they are said to have this kind of charge.
What is neutral/zero/no charge?
300
The type of radiation that occurs when a small particle similar to an electron but with a positive charge is spit out by an atom resulting in the loss of a singular positive charge.
What is positron decay/emission?
300
The amount of material that will remain once 2 half-lives pass assuming you start with 100g of material.
What is 25g?
300
This number tells you what isotope you have. It also tells you the weight of the isotope.
What is atomic mass number?
300
The type of nuclear reaction that occurs in the center of the sun.
What is fusion?
400
The name of the chart that arranges of all known elements in the universe.
What is the periodic table of elements?
400
When an atoms gains a negative charge from a small subatomic particle this is said to have happened.
What is electron/beta capture?
400
MA=M(1/2)^(t/T)
What is the half-life equation?
400
Taking all of the naturally occurring isotopes of a certain element and multiplying their atomic mass by their percent of abundance will give you this number.
What is average atomic mass?
400
The experiment that Rutherford conducted that led to the discovery of the atomic nuclei, proton, and neutron.
What is the gold foil experiment?
500
The area of an atom that contains 99% of it's mass and all of the atoms protons + neutrons.
What is the nucleus of an atom?
500
The missing part in this radiation equation.
What is Thorium - 231?
500
When one material turns into another material it has gone through this process.
What is transmutation?
500
One of the isotopes of this element which has 39 protons and 50 neutrons.
What is yttrium-89?
500
The law that states that material can not be created or destroyed only rearranged or changed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
