Nuclear Energy

Front 1

Compared to the mass and the penetrating power of an alpha particle, a beta particle has

Back 1

Less mass and greater penetrating power

Hint 1

Table O

Front 2

What forma when carbon -14 decays?

Back 2

Back (Definition)

Hint 2

Use table N for reference how long

Front 3

How long will it take for 30g of 222Rn to decay to 7.5g?

Back 3

30->15->7.5 2(3.823d) 7.646d

Hint 3

How long= time and

222Rn= table N

Front 4

For any element, an unstable isotope is called

Back 4

Radioisotopes

Hint 4

Radio

Front 5

When a nucleus is unstable it is a ________ substance that will ______ break down and release radiation

Back 5

Radioactive; spontaneously

Hint 5

U listen to the ___ when in the car; kinda starts with the word spoon but its a compliment

Front 6

Beta decay

Back 6

Moves faster and are more penetrating then a alpha particle.

Hint 6

Running fast

Front 7

The nuclear charge (the atomic number) is ___ by _

Back 7

Increased by 1

Hint 7

The opposite of decrease;_234

Front 8

Positron decay

Back 8

Is the anti-matter of an electron, so it is a "positive electron"

Front 9

Fission

Back 9

Spitting of a radioisotope (usually U-235); produces a great amount of energy; releases radiation

Hint 9

When a couple breaks up with someone they ___;makes a good... ; another word for lets go

Front 10

Fusion

Back 10

Joining of 2 + nucleari; releases great amount of energy but no radiation

Front 11

During a nuclear reaction, mass is converted into

Back 11

Energy

Front 12

Which equation represents natural transmutation?

Back 12

14 14 0

6 C---> 7 N + -1 e

Front 13

Compare the atomic masses of nuclides used in fusion to the atomic masses of nuclides used in fission.

Back 13

Fusion particles are lighter

Front 14

State one potential benefit of using nuclear fusion instead of the current use of nuclear fission to produce electricity.

Back 14

The fusion process produces less radioactive waste
