Nuclear Physics
Across
- 4. when protons and neutrons form the nucleus
- 7. should be called a nuclear bomb
- 10. two nucleons can't do the same thing at the same time
- 14. dating old objects by counting the number of electrons in an excited state
- 16. collective name of protons and neutrons
- 17. just a form of a given element with a different number of neutrons
- 18. high number of nucleons to a low number
- 20. radioactive debri
- 21. anti-particle of an electron
Down
- 1. tends to be lean with no radioactive isotopes
- 2. low number of nucleons to a high number
- 3. consequence of fusion occuring at very high temperatures
- 5. identifying isotopes from their characteristic half lives, decay particles and energy by applying neutrons
- 6. 100 times as strong as an electrical force
- 8. makes use of gravity to sustain fusion
- 9. when nucleons are forced together
- 11. replacing atoms with a radioisotope to unveil it's origins
- 12. all of them have one proton
- 13. their half-life is only 18 minutes because they are unstable by themselves
- 15. most useful for dating anything that has been alive
- 19. a form of brute for that causes a nuclear force
