Atomic Structure/ Nuclear Chemistry
Across
- 1. The time it takes for half of a sample to decay
- 5. high power type of radiation emitted as a wave not a particle
- 7. center of the atom where mass of atom is found
- 8. alpha, beta and gamma are examples of decay
- 10. two small nuclei fuse together to form a larger helium particle
- 11. found in the nucleus with a positive charge
- 13. number number that is made up of protons and neutrons
- 14. subatomic particle with a negative charge
Down
- 2. number identifies the atom
- 3. Has the same protons different neutrons
- 4. energy given off by matter in the form of particles or energy
- 6. moderate power type of radiation identical to an electron
- 7. Found in the nucleus with a neutral charge
- 9. low power type of radiation identical to helium nucleus
- 10. a large nucleus is hit by a neutron and split apart
- 12. cloud outer area of the atom that gives it size
