Isotopes of the family of an element have can have different _________
Neutrons
What is the mass of a neutron?
1
what is the mass of an electron?
0
What is the mass of a proton?
1
How do you determine if a nuclei is radioactive?
N/P ratio- if its greater or less that one then it tries to stabilize by emitting a particle

Group 18
What are the metalloids?
- Si (silicon)
- Ge (Germanium)
- B (Boron)
- As (Arsenic)
- Sb (Antimony)
- Te (tellurium)
- Po (Polonium)
- At (Astatine)
What does Nuclear fusion require?
- Large amounts of ENERGY through HIGH TEMPERATURES
What is Radioactive decay?
When a nucleus spontaneously DECOMPOSES
- releases either:
-alpha
- beta
- gamma radiation
What is beta decay?
When a neutron is changed into a proton because the neutron-to-proton ratio is too high
What is required for maintaining a self-sustaining NUCLEAR FISSION reaction?
Neutrons (after being spat out from atom)
What is the majority of a atom made up of?

J.J. Thompson
What did the Cathode ray experiment lead to?
The discovery of the electron by J.J. Thompson
