Nuclear Reactions
Matching; Pick from the following; Atomic number, Mass Number, Isotope,
Radioactivity, LaBonte
a. Latest student of the month
b. Spontaneous decay of nucleus
c. Sum of protons and neutrons
d. Same atomic number, different mass number
e. Number of protons in Nucleus (ID of atom)
Matching radiation type: 42He+2 °oY i1e on
Write the symbol on the line
Positron
Alpha
Beta
Gamma
Neutron
Balancing Nuclear equations, make sure the mass numbers (top) and atomic
numbers (bottom) balance. Use periodic table to select element symbol!
A fusion is joining of nuclei, fission is splitting of nuclei, radioactive emission is
nuclei spitting out particles!

A "chain reaction" is a "self sustaining" nuclear reaction. For instance in the
neutron bombardment of 235u three high energy neutrons are produced which
can hit three more Uranium nuclei producing nine more neutrons to continue the
chain. What would cause the chain to stop?
