P7 Radioactivity 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsRadioactivityGCSEAQA Created by: Inspiration01Created on: 08-07-19 09:10 What part of the atom does radioactivity involve? Nucleus 1 of 11 What type of atom does radioactivity involve? Isotopes 2 of 11 What are isotpes? atoms of the same element with the same no. of protons(and electrons) but a different no. of neutrons. 3 of 11 What do electrons absorb? Electromagnetic Radiation 4 of 11 What happens when electrons absorb elctromagnetic radiation? If an atom absorbs elctromagnetic radiation the elctron can move to a higher enegy level. 5 of 11 What is the overall charge of the nucleus? Positive (due to the protons) 6 of 11 What are the properties of a radioactive isotope? they have an unstable nucleus - to become stable the nucleus gives out radiation 7 of 11 What is radioactive decay? It is a completely random process where the nucleus of a radioactive isoptopes give out radiation. 8 of 11 Alpha Particles Alpha particles are the same as the nucleus of a helium atom. 2 neutrons and 2 protons 9 of 11 Beta Particle An elctron formed when a neutron splits into a proton and an electron. 10 of 11 Gamma Rays A type of electromagnetic radiation from the nucleus. A wave. 11 of 11
