Decay
Which kind of radioactive decay is occurring when an atom releases He and becomes an atom w/ a smaller atomic number by 2
What are the two major bombs that we know of?
Atom and Hydrogen
What are the 3 types of Radioactive particles?
Gamma, Beta, and Alpha
Who in this class wanted to be a YouTuber
Jaden Williams
What kind of decay doesn't change atomic mass or number
gamma decay
What type of reaction would be used for Fusion and which for fission?
Fusion reactions are used with hydrogen bombs and fission reactions are used for atom bombs

He-4 and Fr-221
Name something everyone on the other team does outside of school (sport, hobby, video game they play, tv show they watch etc)
- student response -
What particle is released in beta decay, what is its charge
electron (beta particle)
negative

Name a sport each of the teachers played in HS (one guess per teacher, if you get any right you get points)
Ms. C -
Ms. D - cross country, track
Ms. Q - soccer, ping pong

Which type of reaction produces heat?
Fission
Out of the 3 nuclear particles which is negative? neutral? and positive? (In that order)
Beta is negative. Gamma is neutral. Alpha is positive.
