How many electrons does a NEUTRAL atom of Oxygen have? _________ Why? ______________________________

8, same number of protons and electrons

10, more protons than electrons

I have two samples: one is Boron-10 and one is of Boron-11. What do these samples have in common? _____________________________________________________

They both have the same number of protons

They have the same atomic number.

They are both elements in the periodic table.

They both have the same number of neutrons.

I have two samples: one is Boron-10 and one is of Boron-11. What makes these samples different? ________________________________________________________

The difference is in the number of neutrons: Boron-10 has 5 neutrons and Boron-11 has 6 neutrons.

Boron-10 is a gas while Boron-11 is a solid.

Boron-10 is radioactive while Boron-11 is stable.

Boron-10 has more protons than Boron-11.

What is the strong force? __________________________________________________________________________

The strong force is the fundamental force that holds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei.

The strong force is the force that causes chemical reactions.

The strong force is a type of gravitational force.

The strong force is responsible for electromagnetic interactions.

What is radioactivity? ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Radioactivity is the emission of radiation from unstable atomic nuclei.

Radioactivity is the process of stabilizing atomic nuclei.

Radioactivity is the absorption of radiation by stable atomic nuclei.

Radioactivity is the chemical reaction between different elements.

What is nuclear fission? ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller parts, releasing energy.

Nuclear fission is the absorption of neutrons by an atomic nucleus, causing it to become unstable.

Nuclear fission is the release of energy from a stable atomic nucleus without any splitting.

Nuclear fission is the process of combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus.

What is nuclear fusion? ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

Nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction that produces heat without changing atomic structure.

Nuclear fusion is the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei into lighter ones.

Nuclear fusion occurs only in nuclear reactors to generate electricity.

How can you tell the difference between fission and fusion equations? ___________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fission splits heavy nuclei; fusion combines light nuclei.

Fission occurs in stars; fusion occurs in nuclear reactors.

Fission and fusion both involve splitting nuclei.

Fission combines heavy nuclei; fusion splits light nuclei.

There are more advantages of fusion than fission. Why don’t we use fusion to generate electricity on Earth instead? _______________________________________________________________________________________________

We don't use fusion to generate electricity on Earth because it is technically challenging to achieve and maintain the necessary conditions for a sustained reaction.

Fusion is cheaper than fission, making it the preferred choice.

We have already perfected fusion technology for commercial use.

Fusion reactions produce more radioactive waste than fission.

What is half-life? _________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________

Half-life is the time it takes for half of a radioactive substance to decay.

Half-life is the total time a substance remains radioactive.

Half-life is the time it takes for a substance to double in mass.

Half-life refers to the lifespan of a living organism.

Why do atoms decay? _____________________________________________

Atoms decay to achieve stability.

Atoms decay to form new elements.

Atoms decay to increase their mass.
