Chapter 7 You Should Know!

For the Chapter 7 test on Thursday you should be familiar with the following:

• determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an isotope
• write nuclear symbols to represent isotopes
• describe the difference between alpha, beta, and gamma radiation
• complete nuclear equations for alpha, beta, and gamma decay
• calculate the amount of parent isotope left after a period of time
• calculate the amount of time needed for a parent isotope to decay to a certain amour
• get information out of a decay curve
• complete nuclear equations for nuclear fusion and fission reactions
• describe the differences between nuclear fusion and fission 

Nuclear Equations Practice

Hey!
Here are some links to help you practice balancing nuclear equations and recognize Alpha, Beta and Gamma decay!  Fill in the appropriate numbers and element (you'll need a periodic table) and check your answers.  Keep track of how many rounds you need to go to get a perfect page (and let Ms. Logher know)

BALANCING NUCLEAR EQUATIONS

Also, HERE is a question sheet with more problems to solve! (I have a copy of this and will hand it out next class... this is just if you want/need a head start)

We will all have a test on Chapter 7 on Thursday February 26th
