IB Physics Sub-topic E3 Definitions
This particle has the same mass as a normal particle but opposite charge and quantum number
It is the daily radiation one can be exposed to
It is the ratio of nuclear binding energy to number of nucleons in a nucleus
It is the splitting of a large nucleus into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy
It is the joining of two nuclei to form a larger nucleus, releasing energy
It is the amount of time for half of the atoms to decay
It is radiation that it removes electrons from exposed matter
These are nuclides that have lost or gained electrons, gaining a positive or negative charge
These are nuclides with different numbers of neutrons, and thus different mass numbers
It is the difference in the mass of a nucleus and the sum of its constituent masses
It is the energy released by the production of a nucleus from its constituent nucleons
It is a particle in the nucleus
These are atoms of one element
It is the emission of electromagnetic waves from an atom by electrons
It is the process of decomposition of unstable nuclei into lighter nuclei and emission of radiation
It is the number of decays occurring per second
It is defined as one twelfth the mass of a Carbon-12 atom
