Radioactivity - I can illustrate the changes in the composition of the nucleus of the atom and the energy released during radioactive decay evident by my ability to
- Describe and apply the history of atomic theory
- Describe how changes in the nucleus of an atom during a nuclear reaction result in emission of radiation
- Explain the process of radioactive decay by the use of nuclear equations and half life
- Compare the types of particles released during nuclear decay
- Interpret half-life graphs
Vocabulary: radioactivity, nuclear radiation, alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, uses of radiation, forces in the nucleus, radioactive decay, transmutation, alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, writing nuclear equations, radioactive half-life, half-life calculations, artificial transmutation
