Isotopes and Nuclear Reactions Cam

Nuclear reaction involve what part of the atom?

• The nucleus of the atom.
• The protons in the atom.
• The electrons of the atom.
• The outer shell of the atom.

What produces the most energy

• Nuclear fusion
• Geothermal energy
• Wind turbines
• Solar panels

what is isotope

• An isotope is an element with a different number of protons.
• An isotope is a variant of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
• An isotope is a molecule that contains only one type of atom.
• An isotope is a type of chemical bond between atoms.

What force hold protons and neutrons together in a nucleus?

• Weak nuclear force
• Strong nuclear force
• Gravitational force
• Electromagnetic force

define radioactivity

• Radioactivity is the process of creating stable atomic nuclei.
• Radioactivity refers to the absorption of radiation by materials.
• Radioactivity is the phenomenon of sound waves traveling through space.
• Radioactivity is the emission of radiation from unstable atomic nuclei.

what does it mean to have a unstable nucleas

• An unstable nucleus is one that is always solid.
• An unstable nucleus cannot decay.
• An unstable nucleus is one that is prone to radioactive decay.
• An unstable nucleus is always stable.

what is a radioactiveisotope

• A radioactive isotope is a stable form of an element.
• A radioactive isotope is a type of chemical bond.
• A radioactive isotope is an unstable isotope that emits radiation during its decay.
• A radioactive isotope is an element that does not decay.

Describe the radioactive decay process

• Radioactive decay is the process of creating energy from stable atomic nuclei.
• Radioactive decay involves the absorption of radiation to stabilize an atomic nucleus.
• Radioactive decay is the transformation of matter into energy without any emission of radiation.
• Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation, transforming into a more stable form.
