nuclear chemistry

Question 1

nuclear chemistry

Answer 1

is the studt of the break up of unstable nuclei, which results in the emissions of radiation and the release of energy. This changes the unstable nuclei into more stable nuclei

Question 2

Alpha

Answer 2

slow moving positively charged particles, attracted to the negetive plate

Question 3

Beta

Answer 3

fast moving negetively charges particles attrected to the positive plate

Question 4

Gamma

Answer 4

electromagnetic radiation (travels at the speed of light) no deflection

Question 5

alpha particles

Answer 5

alpha radiation is given off in the form of helium nucleas. they contain 2 postive protons and 2 neutral neutrons

Question 6

Beta particles

Answer 6

the particles in beta radiation are high energy electrons

Question 7

gamma radiation

Answer 7

gamma radiation consisits of electromagnetic waves and therefore has no mass or charge. Gamma radiation is very high energy

Question 8

radioactive emission

Answer 8

the emisson of radiation from a atomwill change its nature. nuclear equations show the products of nuclear decay
