This allows determining the relative abundances of isotopes in a sample.
Here are the key differences between nuclear fission and fusion:
- Fission involves splitting a large atom into smaller ones, while fusion combines two lighter atoms into a larger atom.
- Fission does not naturally occur on Earth, while fusion powers stars like the Sun.
- Fission produces many highly radioactive particles as byproducts, while fusion produces few radioactive particles.
- Fission releases millions of times more energy than chemical reactions, but less than fusion. Fusion releases 3-4 times more energy than fission.
In summary, fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that release energy, but fission involves splitting atoms and produces more radiation, while fusion combines atoms and produces more energy with less radiation.

Radioactive waste comes in low-level and high-level forms. Low-level waste includes slightly contaminated materials that are buried or stabilized in concrete. High-level waste is highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel, which is currently stored on-site at reactors in water pools or dry casks until a national repository opens. Managing radioactive waste safely and finding locations to dispose of it long-term continues to be a politically challenging issue due to public health concerns and NIMBY opposition.
The document discusses the discovery of radioactivity and the different types of radioactive decay:
- Alpha, beta, and gamma decay were discovered through experiments by Henri Becquerel, Marie and Pierre Curie, and Ernest Rutherford in the late 19th century.
- Alpha decay involves emitting an alpha particle (helium nucleus), beta decay involves emitting an electron or positron, and gamma decay involves emitting high-energy photons.
- The decays result in the transmutation of elements and conservation of nucleon number. Radioactive decay occurs at exponential rates described by half-lives and can be used to date materials.
2 radioactivity and nuclear transformationShahid Younas
1) Radioactive nuclei undergo spontaneous nuclear decay by emitting radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This process is called nuclear transformation.
2) Different radioactive nuclides decay via different modes depending on their neutron to proton ratio and whether their nucleon numbers are odd or even.
3) Unstable nuclei are said to be radioactive because they emit radiation as they undergo spontaneous decay in order to become more stable nuclides. This radiation comes from either the nucleus or orbital electrons.

This document provides an overview of chemical bonding and the covalent bond model. It discusses the key differences between ionic and covalent bonding. Covalent bonds form when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. Lewis structures are used to represent electron sharing between atoms in covalent compounds using dots or dashes to indicate bonding and nonbonding electron pairs. Molecular geometry can be predicted using VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory, which considers the number of electron pairs around an atom to minimize repulsions between pairs. Electronegativity refers to an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a bond.
This document summarizes key topics in a chapter on measurement and significant figures:
- It introduces the metric and English measurement systems, focusing on metric units for length, mass, and volume. Metric units use prefixes like milli- and kilo- and have base units of meters, grams, and liters.
- Numbers can be either exact, with no uncertainty, or inexact, which result from measurements and contain uncertainty. The number of significant figures reflects the certain digits plus one uncertain digit.
- When performing calculations with measurements, the number of significant figures in the final answer is the same as the number of significant figures in the measurement with the least number of significant figures. Results are rounded according to
