2. A. Types of Radiation 2+ 1- Alpha () helium nucleus Beta-minus (-)
paper 2+
Beta-minus (-)
electron
lead 1-
Gamma ()
high-energy photon
concrete

3. B. Nuclear Decay
TRANSMUTATION
Alpha Emission
Beta Emission

4. C. F ission splitting a nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei
some mass is converted to large amounts of energy

5. C. F ission
chain reaction - self-feeding reaction

6. D. Fusion combining of two nuclei to form one nucleus of larger mass
produces even more energy than fission
occurs naturally in stars

7. E. Law of Conservation Of Mass
ALL NUCLEAR EQUATIONS MUST FOLLOW THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS.
The masses on the reactants must equal the masses on the products.
