Q

rozpad promieniotworczy wystepuje wtedy gdy jadro pierwiastka ma wieksza energie niz jego mozliwy, bardziej stabilny izotop. przewaznie ta roznica energii jest uwalniana w postaci “energii jonizującej”. jest nazwana jonizującą, poniewaz ma wystarczajaco energii aby zabrac lub dodac elektron do innych pierwiastkow tworzac jony

A

radioactive decay occurs when a nucleus has a higher energy level than a potentialy more stable version. typically this is called ionizing radiation. it’s ionizing because it has enough energy to knock electrons out or add electrons to other atoms, creating ions

  • creating an electron
  • when a neutron becomes a proton and an electron
  • creating antineutrino

23
Q

posredniczyc, przekazywac, transmitowac

A

24
Q

energia wiazania

A

binding energy
the amount of energy required to remove nucleons from a nucleus
E=(delta)m•c^2
(delta)m-mass defect [theoretical mass-actual mass]

25
Q

nukleony

A

nucleons

protons and neutrons, the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom

26
Q

defekt masy

A

mass defect

the difference between the total mass of individual nucleons in a nucleus and the nucleus as a whole

27
Q

jak obliczyc defekt masy? (delta)m

A

how to calculate mass defect?

(delta)m=the sum of the protons and neutrons - mass of the nucleus

28
Q

rozszczepienie jadra atomu/podzial komorki

A

fission

one heavy nuclus splitting into two lighter ones

29
Q

fuzja, polaczenie

A

fusion
two light nuclei joining to form a heavier one
*these reactions release much more energy than fission reactions

30
Q

samorzutne rozszczepienie jadra atomowego

A

spontaneous fission
occurs when an atom simply breaks into two smaller atoms without outside help.
*the only substance that does it at a rate thats sufficient to serve any purposes is CALIFORNIUM-254
it decays into xenon-140, ruthenium-108 and 4 neutrons
**and the purpose is to produce neutrons for use in other nuclear reactions

31
Q

what nuclear decay will happen if there is to many protons?

A

positron emission (B+) / electron capture

32
Q

what nuclear decay will happen if there are too many neutrons?

A

electron emission (B-)

33
Q

what nuclear decay will happen if the nucleus is too big?

A

alpha emission/spontaneous fission

34
Q

what nuclear decay will happen if an atom is in excited state?

A

gamma ray emission
