Open the menu below for other vids by other teachers. These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
Professor Dave - A long-haired rock star of chem and physics discusses forces acting in the nucleus and even goes farther into some of the newer theories of nuclear structure including shell theory.
BrightStorm - A faster run-through of the forces and balance.
TUHSPhysics - another discussion of forces and a relation to a plot of stable nuclei

Written Content
Open the menu below for typed content, like in a textbook. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
LibreTexts - A great online textbook I will reference throughout the year. Their discussion on the forces acting in the nucleus are very similar to mine.
Open Stax - this is a very detailed discussion of the forces acting inside the nucleus and how they lead to radiation.
Resources
This is the plot of protons vs. neutrons that you will create in the lab for this section. You will need this plot to answer questions for the practice and quiz. You will get a copy of this plot on your test.
ANNOTATED Plot of Stable p:n Ratio
This is the same plot but with the notes/annotations we discussed in class.
This is the same data table from Section 3 for calculating average atomic mass. This list of stable isotopes can ALSO be used to identify the ideal ration of protons to neutrons in stable atoms, which is needed to generate the plot in the lab for this section.
Complete this class practice to gain some experience predicting nuclear stability. This skill involves a LOT of content from this unit, and can be challenging! Use your notes as well as the information on the practice to help you through the idea, and as always, seek me out for help!!
Create a plot of the proton to neutron ratio for many known stable nuclei. We will use this plot to answer questions about nuclear stability for this entire section.
This plot is easiest to make with a PARTNER!! Makes entering the data go by MUCH FASTER!!
Mastery Quiz
Mastery Quiz
To prove mastery of this topic you will need to take a quiz on Schoology. Here are the guidelines:
You must show me all the completed work for this section BEFORE you you can start attempts on this quiz.
You can use any notes, practice, or prior quiz attempts to help you complete the quiz.
You can use ANY class resources like a calculator, your periodic table, or any other reference materials
You have UNLIMITED attempts to take this quiz, but after 4 tries you will need to take a paper version with me in class.
You should only need 2-3 tries for each quiz. If it takes more than that you should be reaching out for help!
You CANNOT work with others on the quizzes
