|
Term
| What occurs in positron emission and what is another name for it? |
|
Definition
When a nucleus is proton rich, an electron is pulled in from the inner shell and used to transform a proton into a neutron, also creating a nutrino.
This is also called electron capture |
|
|
Term
| A higher wavelength creates a _______ energy |
|
Definition
Lower energy.
Wavelength and energy are inversely proportional |
|
|
Term
| A higher frequency means a ________ energy |
|
Definition
Higher energy
Frequency and energy are directly proportional. |
|
|
Term
| What holds electrons in their shells? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The line of stability starts at a 1:1 proton/neutron ratio, in what direction does it curve at higher mass numbers? |
|
Definition
| Toward the neutron axis, more neutrons are needed to stabilize the nucleus |
|
|
Term
| What is the difference between excitation and ionization? |
|
Definition
| In excitation, and electron jumps electron shells, in ionization, an electron is expelled from the atom. |
|
|
Term
| What is radioactive decay? |
|
Definition
| An unstable atom spontaneously releases electrons to create a stable state. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A change in the proton number of the atom. |

Term
| What occurs during Beta Minus decay? |
|
Definition
| A neutron becomes a proton and an antineutrino with about 1/3 maximun energy capability. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When a proton becomes a neutron and turns into a positron. This generally results in an annihilation and 2 511 KEv energy rays. |
|
|
Term
| What process creates characteristic X-Rays? |
|
Definition
| When electron capture uses an electron from the inner shell, outer shell electrons fill the space, creating charateristic X-Rays |
