    This document discusses nuclear decays and reactions. It covers topics like radioactivity, types of radiation, binding energy, mass defect, fission, and fusion. It provides examples of fission, where heavy elements split into smaller fragments, and fusion, where light elements fuse to form heavier elements. It also shows a sample problem calculating the energy equivalent to 5 kg of mass using the mass-energy equivalence formula E=mc2.

    Binding Energy
    Mass defect
    Two types of Transmutation
    • Fission – heavy • Fusion – light elements
    elements split to fuse to heavier.
    smaller fragments.

    Fission
    We looked at fission by spontaneous
    radioactive decay.
    nucleus splits
    to 2 or more parts.
    Parent mass # decreases.
    Fusion

    material is added
    and “fused” to the nucleus.

    Problem 1
    How much energy is equal to 5 kg of mass?

    E = mc2
    E = 5 x ( 2.998 x 108 )2
    E = 5 x (8.98 x 10 16 )
    E= 44.9 x 10 16
