Chlorine
Atomic Number: 17
Alpha: is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle
(helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into a different atomic nucleus, with a
mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.
Beta: a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (fast energetic electron or
positron) is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

How can we explain the atomic structure
and nuclear chemistry?
Half- life-is the time required for a quantity to reduce
to half of its initial value.
Time 2 / Time 1 = n
Pd-100 has a half-life of 3.6 days. If one had 6.02 x 1023 atoms at
the start, how many atoms would be present after 20.0 days?

Nuclear Fission: a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits
spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of
energy.
Students could debate the issue of funding nuclear fission vs.fusion reactors by role-
playing fission advocates(e.g.,owners of nuclear reactors, energy association
members, etc.) and fusion advocates (e.g., physics researchers, etc.).
