The splitting of a large nucleus into smaller nuclei is
fusion
fission
half-life
gamma radiation
Why does alpha decay occur?
The nucleus is too large to be stable
The proton to neutron ratio is unstable
The nucleus is in an excited state. This usually follows other types of decay.
Why does beta decay occur?
The nucleus is too large to be stable
The proton to neutron ratio is unstable
The nucleus is in an excited state. This usually follows other types of decay.
Which atoms are isotopes of each other? (Select all that apply)
Carbon-13
Nitrogen-14
Carbon-14
None of these
What things will you need to calculate the atomic mass of an element? (Select all that apply)
Number of protons and neutrons
Abundance of every isotope in nature
Mass number of every isotope in nature
None of these
The atomic mass of Beryllium is 9.012 g. Which isotope of Beryllium is most abundant?
None of these
What happens if you change the number of protons in an atom?
The atomic mass will change
A new element will form
Energy will be destroyed
None of these
Why do we not include electrons when we calculate the mass number of an element?
Electrons are so small, they don't contribute much to the mass of an atom
Electrons have a negative charge, and we do not want to subtract from the mass
Protons and electrons cancel each other's charges out. To avoid the cancelling, electrons aren't included
None of these
What is the difference between the isotopes Nitrogen-14 and Nitrogen-15?
Their position on the Periodic Table
The number of neutrons in the nucleus
The number of protons in the nucleus
The charge of each isotope
