| |
|
|
-mass: 4 (2 protons/2 neutrons) |
| |
|
|
-charge: +2 (2 protons) |
| |
|
|
-stopped by a sheet of paper |
| |
|
•Beta Particle- |
| |
|
|
-aka-an electron |
| |
|
|
-symbol:01β |
| |
|
|
-mass: 0 |
| |
|
|
-charge: -1 (1 electron) |
| |
|
|
-stopped by a sheet of tin foil |
| |
|
•Gamma Ray- |

Facts: |
| |
Nuclear Fission |
| |
|
•One Atom splitting into two atoms. |
| |
|
•Typically accomplished by a neutron. |
| |
|
•Can lead to a chain reaction. |
| |
|
•Nuclear Power- |
| |
|
|
-19% of the United States Electricity is by Nuclear Energy |
| |
|
|
-controlled nuclear reaction with control rods. |
| |
|
|
-nuclear waste is the biggest concern with nuclear power. |
| |
|
|
-nuclear disaster is the second biggest concern. |
| |
|
•Nuclear Bombs- |
| |
|
|
-the first and only bombs were dropped on Japan to end World War II. |
| |
|
|
-today's nuclear bombs |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Nuclear Fusion |
| |
|
•One Atom splitting into two atoms. |
| |
|
•Typically accomplished by a neutron. |

Nuclear Chemistry Spreadsheet
File Format: Excel Spreadsheet available for download or online use. The spreadsheet is designed to do nuclear chemistry from creating a simple symbol for an elemental isotope to balancing fusion equations. The spreadsheet is designed to balance equations for both the mass and the charge. To work with the spreadsheet you will input information into the yellow squares. The light blue squares represent areas for optional information. Once information is inputed it can be written down or saved to be emailed.
