Nuclear Chemistry
Welcome to our journey into the fascinating world of nuclear
chemistry! We'll explore the atom's nucleus, radioactive decay,
and nuclear reactions, uncovering their impact on medicine,
energy, and beyond.
The heart of the atom, containing Strong nuclear force binds the Neutron-to-proton ratio and
protons and neutrons. nucleus, while electrostatic force binding energy per nucleon
repels protons. influence stability.
The Unstable Dance of
Radioactivity
Alpha Decay Beta Decay
Emission of an alpha Neutron converts to proton
particle (2 protons, 2 or vice versa, emitting a
neutrons). beta particle.
Gamma Decay
Release of excess energy via high-energy photons.
Harnessing Nuclear Power: Fission and Fusion
Fission Fusion
Splitting a heavy nucleus, releasing massive energy Combining light nuclei, like hydrogen isotopes, to
(e.g., uranium-235). create a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.
