are bombarded with neutrons causing fission of the fuel. This way energy is released. With this energy water is heated to steam and with the use of heat exchangers and steam turbines electricity is generated. As fuel is usually uranium used‚ but also plutonium and thorium are possible energy sources. To protect the environment from radioactivity‚ the fuel is cladded. For the cladding is usually zirconium alloys or stainless steels used because it should be able to let the neutrons pass and be corrosion

composed of two different types of particles‚ protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged atoms. The weight of a proton is one amu. Protons are located inside the nucleus and cannot move from inside the nucleus. The proton symbol is . Neutrons are also located inside the nucleus and have a neutral charge. Neutrons are also one amu like protons. Neutrons can move from the nucleus of an atom making an atom an isotope. The neutron symbol is . Electrons are located outside the nucleus

Given the complete symbol of an atom‚ determine its mass number‚ and the number of protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons. To identify and classify different types of matter. Background Primary substances‚ called elements‚ build all the materials about you. Some look similar‚ but others look unlike anything else. In this experiment‚ you will describe

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry‚ nuclear fission refers to either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei)‚ often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays)‚ and releasing a very large amount of energy‚ even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay. The two nuclei produced are most often of comparable but slightly different sizes‚ typically with a mass ratio of products of about

Yafaa Chaudhary PHYSICS 5 NOTES Physics 5 3.5.1 Radioactivity Evidence for the nucleus Qualitative study for the Rutherford scattering. Rutherford directed a narrow beam of α-particles‚ all of the same kinetic energy‚ in an evacuated container at a thin gold film‚ in order to identify the structure of an atom: The α-particles need to be of the same kinetic energy otherwise slow α-particles would be deflected more than faster α-particles on the same initial path. The container needs to be evacuated

ISOTOPES Atoms of a given element which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Thus‚ isotopes have the same position in the periodic table‚ the same chemical properties and the same atomic charge. The simplest example of an atom with different isotopes is hydrogen. The three isotopes of hydrogen are shown here: The increasing number of neutrons in the nucleus of the hydrogen atom adds mass to the atom and thus each isotope of a given element has

Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear science is the study of sub-atomic particles and their function in various subjects. A nucleon is the collective name for the two components of the atomic nucleus: the neutron and the proton. Isotopes are any of the different forms of an element each having different mass numbers‚ which give the total number of nucleons. The major fundamentals of nuclear chemistry include radioactive decay‚ the nature of fission and fusion‚ and mass defect. The decomposition of the
