Catalyst Use your study guide to answer: What is the difference between temperature and heat? What is an acid and what is a base? Take out your HW! Objective: I can investigate practical uses of radioactive isotopes. Agenda: Catalyst Homework Review Radiocarbon dating
Homework Review p. 657 #1,2,5,6 1. The high energy electron that is emitted from from an unstable nucleus is called a beta particle. (p. 649)
Homework Review p. 657 #1,2,5,6 2. Both fission and fusion involve the changing of a nucleus. Fission involves splitting the nucleus and fusion involves combining two small nuclei to form a larger nucleus. Both processes release energy. Fusion produces more energy per gram of starting material than fission. (p )
