Match the type of radiation (1 to 3) with each of the following statements: 1. alpha particle2. beta particle3. gamma radiationc. travels only a short distance in air

Complete each of the following bombardment reactions:d. ? + ⁶⁴₂₈Ni → ²⁷²₁₁₁Rg + ¹₀n

Identify and write the symbol for each of the five nuclides in the decay series shown in Problem.

How does ionizing radiation lead to cell damage?

How does a chain reaction occur in nuclear fission?

How does nuclear fission differ from normal radioactive decay?

In another fission reaction, uranium-235 bombarded with a neutron produces strontium-94, another small nucleus, and three neutrons. Write the balanced nuclear equation for the fission reaction.
