- 3. how much an element weighs
- 7. a charged particle that is emitted during a beta type radioactive decay
- 9. a process when one action takes place and repeats itself onto something else
- 10. a particle contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons
- 12. the middle of an atom and contains neutrons and protons, positively charged
- 13. the amount of time that passes after a element decays by 50%
- 14. the number assigned to a specific element, that same number is the amount of protons in the element
Down
- 1. a ray emitted from the atom during the process, it is the most harmful
- 2. an element that has a different mass than the original element
- 4. when certain substances emit radiation
- 5. a subatomic particle that lies within the nucleus, it has a positive charge
