Eli Rex PS 2713/GE 2713 Dr. Jerry Emison‚ Mr. Robert Green September 28‚ 2013 Is There a Nuclear Arms Threat? America has been considered a “superpower” state for decades. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “superpower” as “an extremely powerful nation‚ especially one capable of influencing international events and the acts and policies of less powerful nations.” The earning of the title superpower comes with some benefits and disadvantages. Certain benefits America possesses is:

proton and the neutron. However‚ the hydrogen-1 atom has no neutrons and a positive hydrogen ion has no electrons. The electron is by far the least massive of these particles at 9.11×10−31 kg‚ with a negative electrical charge and a size that is too small to be measured using available techniques.[46] Protons have a positive charge and a mass 1‚836 times that of the electron‚ at 1.6726×10−27 kg‚ although this can be reduced by changes to the energy binding the proton into an atom. Neutrons have no electrical

Tellurium Many historians believed that Franz Joseph Müller von Reichstein was born around 1740’s to 1742 in the Habsburg Empire‚ which later became known as the Austro-Hungary Empire. Müller had many different positions in the Austria-Hungary administration; but he’s most known for being a mineralogist and skilled miner. He started his rode to success by becoming a Markscheider (official mine surveyor)‚ which then lead him to become an Hüttenwerke (royal commission for mining in the Banat). These

An isotope is an atoms which are from the same element but have different numbers of neutrons. Hydrogen has three isotopes. 2) Use the Bitesize pages and the ‘Y10 radioactivity’ file (especially the ‘types of radiation’ animation and videos in the ‘Radiation types- range and stopping’ file) to complete the following table: 3) (NB: Don’t

therefore profit too. 5. Sodium-24 is an artificially made isotope. It is made at the Lucas Heights reactor‚ near Sydney‚ Australia‚ as well as at other reactors across the world. It is made by the neutron absorption method‚ where a stable isotope is placed in a nuclear reactor and bombarded with neutrons‚ until one is absorbed into the nucleus‚ creating an unstable isotope. 6. There are four main hazards when using sodium-24 - Ionisation ability - is low because ionisation occurs when the decayed

Sam Kean author of The Disappearing Spoon from a young age showed interest in the sciences. During his youth Sam constantly fell ill‚ resulting in being left home alone with a thermometer in his mouth often. The curiosity for the thermometer’s ability to tell temperature led to his fascination of the periodic table. The thermometer would slip from Sam’s mouth creating small puddles of mercury; which his mother would clump together with toothpicks. As Sam observed he noticed how mercury would combine

physics and nuclear physics concern themselves with the study of these particles‚ their interactions‚ and matter made up of them which do not aggregate into atoms. These particles include atomic constituents such as electrons‚ protons‚ and neutrons (protons and neutrons are actually composite particles‚ made up of quarks)‚ as well as other particles such as photons and neutrinos which are produced copiously in the sun. However‚ most of the particles that have been discovered and studied are not encountered
