3. an ionic compound that contain metal ion or NH4+ and a nonmetal or polyatomic ion other than OH-
5. a process in which large nuclei are split into smaller pieces releasing large amounts of energy
6. the addition of base to an acid sample to determine the concentration of the acid
9. high-energy radiation emited to make a nucleus more stable
10. a nuclear particle identical to a helium ( He, a) nucleus (two protons and two neutrons)
12. a substance that dissolves in water and produces hydroxide ions (OH-) according to the Arrhenius theory; all of them are proton acceptors according to the Bronsted-Lawry theory
13. a radioactive atom of an element
14. ___________ decay is the process by which an unstable nucleus breaks down with the release of high-energy radiation
15. energy or particles released by radioactive atom
17. _________ acids and bases slightly dissociate in water

1. a particle of radiation with no mass and a positive charge produced by an unstable nucleus when a proton is transformed into a neutron and a positron
2. the separation of an acid or a base into ions in water
3. __________ acid is an acid that completely ionizes in water
4. a fission reaction that will continue once it has been initiated by a high energy neutron bombarding a heavy nucleus such as uranium -235
7. the term that describes a solution with equal concentration of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions
8. a reaction between an acid and a base to form a salt an water
11. a reaction in which large amounts of energy are released when small nuclei combine to form larger nuclei
12. a particle identical to an electron that forms in the nucleus when a neutron changes to a proton and an electron
16. a substance that dissolves in water and produces hydrogen ions (H+), according to the Arrhenius theory; all of them are proton donors, according to Bronsted-Lawry theory
