Multiple Choice

electrode constructed from an easily oxidized metal, often magnesium or zinc, used to prevent corrosion of metal objects via cathodic protection

• inert electrode

• sacrificial cathode

• sacrificial anode

• hydrogen standard electrode

Multiple Choice

What makes something radioactive?

Multiple Choice

A radioactive nuclide has a ____ stable nucleus than a non-radioactive nucleus of the same element.

• more

• less

• identical

• small

Multiple Choice

Has a mass of 4 and a charge of +2

• Alpha
• Beta
• Gamma

Multiple Choice

Has the symbol

• Alpha

Multiple Choice

Takes two small nuclei and combines them into a larger nucleus

• fission
• fusion

Multiple Choice

The splitting of a nucleus into smaller nuclei is

• fusion
• fission
• half-life

Multiple Choice

How is nuclear fusion different from nuclear fission?

• In fusion, the product is a larger atomic nucleus.
• Fission produces energy but fusion does not.
• Fusion produces energy but fission does not.
• In fission, the product is a larger atomic nucleus.
