Nuclear & Gas Laws

Front

What is a Fission reaction?

Back

A nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy.

Front

What is a Fusion reaction?

Back

A nuclear reaction in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

Front

What is a Decomposition reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Front

What is a Combustion reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction that occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light.

Front

What type of radiation is emitted during a beta decay?

Back

Beta particles, which are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons.

Front

What are the three variables involved in gas laws?

Back

Pressure, Temperature, Volume.

Front

What does Charles's Law state?

Back

The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

Front

What does Boyle's Law state?

Back

The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.

Front

What is the relationship shown by a direct graph?

Back

As one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What is the relationship shown by an inverse graph?

Back

As one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
