| What are Atoms made of? | -They have a Nucleus that is Positively Charged due to the Protons
-They also have Neutrons that are also in the Nucleus
-Then there are the Negative Electron surrounding the Nucleus |
| What is the Atomic Number? What can it Define? | -This is simply how many Protons there is in the Atom
-Protons amount can Determine the Element |
| What is the Mass Number? | -This is simply how many Protons and Neutrons there is in the Atom [The Mass] |
| What are Isotopes exactly? | -They are simply Atoms that are the Same Element [Same Number of Protons] but differ in Neutrons Numbers therefore having the same Atomic Number but not Atomic Mass |
| What are the 4 Types of Radiation? | -You have:
-Alpha
-Beta
-Gamma
-Neutron |
| Explain Alpha Radiation- What happens and what are they? | -An Alpha Particle is simply 2 Neutron and has 2 Protons [Helium Nucleus]
-They are Big, Heavy and also Slow Moving |
| Explain Beta Radiation- What happens and what are they? | -A Beta Particle is literally an Electron, which has No Mass and a Negative Charge
-They are Fast and Small
-However, if a Beta Particle is Emitted, A Neutron will turn into a Proton, therefore meaning the Atomic Mass never Changes, but the Atomic Number does increase by 1 |
| Explain Gamma Radiation - What happens and what are they? | -After giving an Alpha or Beta Particle away, the Nucleus will probably release Even More Energy, by Emitting a Gamma Ray
-They have no Charge or Mass - its Energy |
| Explain Neutron Radiation - What happens and what are they? | -This is simply just the Nucleus, which might have Lots of Neutrons, throwing one away, meaning an Isotope forms of the Same Element |
