When you are all done, you should look back over all your answers and review the ones in red. These ones in red are the ones which you needed help on. Question: Nuclear Answer: any of several devices in which a reaction is initiated and controlled with the resulting heat typically used for power generation and the neutrons and fission products used for military, experimental, and medical purposes. Question: gamma Answer: electromagnetic radiation by radioactive decay and having energies in a range from ten thousand to ten million electron volts Question: particle Answer: a device, such as a cyclotron or linear accelerator, that accelerates charged subatomic particles or nuclei to high Question: Answer: spontaneous of radiation, either directly from unstable atomic nuclei or as a consequence of a nuclear reaction Question: nucleonAnswer: a proton or a neutron, especially as part of an atomic Question: Answer: act (or an instance) of subjecting a body or substance to the impact of high-energy Question: particleAnswer: positively charged particle, indistinguishable from a helium atom nucleus and consisting of two protons and two Question: half-lifeAnswer: the time required for half the nuclei in a sample of a specific isotopic species to decay Question: isotopeAnswer: one of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers, due to a number of neutrons in the nucleus Question: Answer: a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus, especially a heavy nucleus such as an isotope of uranium, splits into fragments, usually two fragments of mass, releasing from 100 million to several hundred million electron volts of energy Question: beta Answer: a high-speed electron or positron, one emitted in radioactive decay Question: Answer: a nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy |
