Introduction to Chemistry/2.3 Nuclear Chemistry
This learning object provides an introduction to nuclear chemistry, describing the types of radiation--alpha, beta, positron, and gamma radiation. The object discusses radiation impact on humans, and how to protect oneself from each type of radiation. Measurement and common units of radiation are introduced. The object further discusses half-life of radioisotopes and the use of radioisotopes for medical application. Additional concepts include an introduction to nuclear reactions, how to characterize reactions (during the process of radioactive decay), and how to balance nuclear equations used to represent nuclear reactions. This learning object is part 7 of 17 parts that comprise this Introductory Chemistry Course.
