10 Questions
What can release huge amounts of energy according to the text?
Nuclear changes
What do chemists exploit according to the text?
Nuclear changes
What does TOPIC 10A describe?
The types of radiation emitted when nucleons adjust their relative positions within nuclei or when the nucleus emits particles
What is the nucleus in much of chemistry according to the text?
An inert passenger
What has given considerable insight into the composition of nuclei according to the text?
Radiation emitted from nuclear changes
What forces bind nucleons together in a nucleus?
Strong nuclear force
What types of radiation are emitted when nucleons adjust their relative positions within nuclei or when the nucleus emits particles?
Types of radiation emitted: alpha, beta, gamma
What is the internal structure of a nucleus and what change can it undergo?
The internal structure of a nucleus includes nucleons (protons and neutrons) and it may undergo change through nuclear decay or reactions.
What is the role of chemists in exploiting nuclear changes?
Chemists exploit nuclear changes for generating electrical power and are deeply involved in the consequences of using them.
Why are the forces that bind nucleons together in a nucleus considered to be so great?
The forces that bind nucleons together in a nucleus are considered to be so great because nuclear changes can release huge amounts of energy.
