100

This is where protons and neutrons are located. 



nucleus



100

Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of these.




Neutrons

100

This type of decay releases a helium nucleus or alpha particle (2 protons and 2 neutrons).


alpha decay

100

The first energy level or shell can hold this many electrons.

Hint: Bohr Models


2 electrons

100

This is the process when two light atomic nuclei are combined.



fusion 

200

This particle has no charge and is found in the nucleus.




Neutron



200

This number changes when you compare different isotopes of the same element.

Hint: You use this number to solve for the neutrons.



Mass

200

This decay releases a high-energy electron or beta particle.


beta decay

200

This many electrons can fit on the 2nd energy level or shell. 

Hint: Bohr Models




8 electrons

200

This is when a heavy nucleus is split into 2 or more nuclei. 

Hint: Division



fission

300

This negatively-charged particle orbits the nucleus.







Electron



300

Carbon-14 and Carbon-12 are examples of these.


carbon isotopes

300

This type of decay releases pure energy but no particles.



gamma decay

300

Electrons are found in these “levels” or circles around the nucleus.




energy levels or shells

300

Fusion and fission can be used to make this type of bomb. 



atom bomb

400

This particle determines the atom’s atomic number and is positively charged.



Proton


400

This is the mass of Nitrogen-15.


15 

400

This type of nucleus emits radiation in the form of particles or energy.


unstable

400

This type of diagram includes the element Symbol and points for the Valence electrons. 


Lewis Dot

400

This is where fusion naturally takes place. 

Hint: This is why it is more challenging to utilize. 



stars

500

This is where electrons are located. 



Outside of the nucleus or electron cloud


500

This term describes the time it takes for half of a radioactive isotope to decay.



Half-life

500

This can be used to determine the age of materials by measuring the decay of the radioactive isotope carbon-14.



radiocarbon dating

500

This type of electron is found on the outermost shell and affects how an atom forms chemical bonds with other atoms. 



valence 

500

This is where fission is utilized for electricity.
