HPS@SHS Ch.10: Nuclear Chemistry HPS@SHS Name_____________________________per.__ Student Outcomes: Upon conclusion of this chapter the student will be able to: 1) Describe the process of nuclear decay. 2) Classify nuclear radiation& write nuclear equations for alpha, beta a& gamma decay. 3) Identify sources of nuclear radiation and describe how it affects matter. 4) Describe methods of detecting radiation. 5) Define half-life and relate half-life to the age of a radioactive sample. 6) Calculate the age of a bone sample through C-14 dating. 7) Describe and write balanced equations for transmutation. 8) Describe how transuranium elements are synthesized. 9) Compare and contrast nuclear forces. 10) Explain how nuclear reactors are used to produce electrical energy. 11) Compare and contrast fission and fusion. Florida Sunshine State Standards: S.C.A.2.4.3: knows that a number of elements have heavier, unstable nuclei that decay, spontaneously giving off smaller particles and waves that result in a small loss of mass and release a large amount of energy. S.C.A.1.4.4: experiments and determines that the rates of reaction among atoms and molecules depend on the concentration, pressure, and temperature of the reactants and the presence or absence of catalysts. S.C.A.2.4.4: knows that nuclear energy is released when small, light atoms are fused into heavier ones. S.C.C.2.4.4: knows that the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together are much stronger than electromagnetic force and that this is the reason for the great amount of energy released from the nuclear reactions in the sun and other stars.
