PS1-8.2: I can develop a model of radioactive decay that includes the identification of all atoms and particles and their relationships, and transformations of energy with the proper number of subatomic particles both before and after decay (fission and fusion).
2
Multiple Choice
What is the process of fusion?
When an atom breaks apart into smaller ones
When two atoms come together and form a bigger one
When a lot of energy gets released like inside the sun
A type of nuclear decay
3
Multiple Choice
What is the process of fission?
Two atoms coming together to make a bigger new element
An atom breaking apart into multiple smaller atoms
Gives off a lot of energy like in nuclear reactors
A way to build new atoms

b. Plutonium (Pu) is used inside a nuclear power plant.
c. Hydrogen burning inside the sun.
d. Polonium (Po) breaks down into selenium (Se) and tin (Sn).
