Nuclear Chemistry



















Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Rays


















Alpha- the radition that was reflected toward the negatively charged plate.







Beta-the radiation that was reflected toward the positively charged plate.






Gamma- High-energy radition that possess no mass.






Difference Between Fusion and Fission






Fission- a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus splits into smaller particles

















Fusion- the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together


























Production of Nuclear Energy






Nuclear energy is the controlled use of nuclear reactions to release energy for various reasons. It's pros are that it's used in medicine and as reuseable energy. A con is that it's a highly dangerous energy and it causes a large amount of pollution such as in the air and water.
