an organized method of doing something

system

made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons

alpha

the time required for the amount of radioactivity to decrease by one half

half life

Produces radioactive waste

fission

Can be used in medical treatment ( there are 2)

beta and gamma

Created when a neutron breaks into a proton and an electron: proton stays in nucleus

beta

Used to make atomic bombs

fusion and fission

Most of the world's electricity is made using fossil fuels as an energy source. In what way is nuclear fission a better alternative to fossil fuels?

Less air pollution, provides clean energy and is reliable and cost effective

Must be stopped by thick concrete or lead

gamma

Takes place inside the sun

fusion

Data that is in numbers or measurements

quantitative

We have a 2 gram sample of a radioactive sample. How much would remain radioactive after 2 half lives?

0.5 g

What is the name of the process in which two small nuclei are joined to produce one larger nucleus and lots of energy?

fusion

Releases more energy than the other

fusion

Used in nuclear power plants

fission

to put forth and idea for consideration

propose

Can be stopped by a sheet of metal

beta

Data in the form of recorded descriptions rather than numerical measurements.

qualitative

focus of a study

scope

to put into a different language or form

translate

Can be stopped by a sheet of paper

alpha

Made of high energy waves

gamma

Produces a larger atomic number

fusion

not normal

irregular

Produces a nucleus with higher atomic number but same mass number

Beta
